New transport service becoming a necessity

It’s no secret that Bristol is one of the UK’s most congested cities which makes getting around a bit of a nightmare, particularly when you have somewhere to be – like work, or home. 

Take the stress out of commuting 

Shared ride to work service, Slide, with its flexible routes, flat fares and on demand vehicles may have the answer to our commuting woes. 

The service, which also benefits from being able to use the city’s bus lanes, is quickly gaining momentum as a viable alternative to commuting by bus or car. 

Who is behind the company?

The Bristol based tech startup has its home in the award-winning Desk Lodge coworking space. 

The clever technology behind the app, which works out the most efficient route for getting you from A to B based on real time traffic and taking into account other passengers’ journeys, is managed by a small, growing team at Slide HQ. But, fundamentally it’s the Slide drivers who differentiate the offering from services such as Uber.  

All drivers are Slide trained and managed to ensure that they consistently deliver the excellent customer service and experience that you’d expect from a premium shared ride to work service. The incredible 4.9 out of 5 star passenger rating really pays testament to this.

Drivers: the Slide superheroes 

The team of super Slide drivers really are saving the day for many commuters. Slide recently asked current travellers to share feedback on how Slide has transformed their commute.

Some of Slide’s passengers share their stories

Regular passenger Richard says:

“I think you offer a really great service. Without you I would be using the bus or train to get into work, neither of which is a very attractive option because they’re either slow or, in the case of the train, drop me off about a mile from my office. With Slide it’s more or less door to door, so it’s streets ahead of public transport!”

Sarah who travels with Slide once or twice a week as a treat, says:

“I find busy buses and congestion stressful and anxiety-inducing. I use Slide as a treat, it’s always a highlight after a very stressful day at work.

I must admit Slide is amazing and there are some points in the week or the weekends that I think ‘I want a slide’ and wish that Slide expanded to cover those times. I rave about Slide, it’s brilliant, a lot of my friends and colleagues don’t live in the catchment, when luckily I do. 

You have a couple of amazing drivers!” 

Whether you’re a regular or occasional passenger, Slide’s becoming a firm favourite for commuting around our congested city. Read more reviews from happy passengers:- slidebristol.com/reviews
