Busy mums love Slide

Slide is Bristol’s app-based commuter ride-share service that offers the flexibility of a taxi at little more than the cost of a bus. Getting a Slide trip to work is simple – just book a ride via the Slide app and walk to a nearby pickup point, usually just 2 minutes away, then enjoy a comfortable ride. Here’s why Kate travels with Slide.
‘Slide has given me the gift of time! Commuting with Slide is easily half the time it takes me to commute by bus so saves me around an hour every day which, as a working mum, is priceless.’
is needed now More than ever
With two children, Kate’s a busy mum. Taking a Slide to work means she can catch up on emails with the free WiFi and most importantly she always gets home in time for bedtime stories.
How would you sum up Slide?
Polite, reliable drivers. Fast journey times, easily half the time it takes me to commute by bus. Plus, very good customer support.
How has Slide changed the way you commute?
‘I used to commute by bus and it was a very frustrating experience; long queues on the bus stop, buses not stopping because they were full, standing room only, or people coughing on you. Now I have my own comfy seat, radio to listen to and drivers who know when to chat and when to leave you to zone out.
What’s the biggest benefit to you?
‘If I have phone calls I need to make, being in a Slide feels sufficiently private to do that. On my way to work, it’s time to prepare for my day ahead, send emails etc, which saves me valuable time when I’m at work and Slide’s free WiFi is great! At the end of the day, my ride home is all about relaxing with my Kindle while I’m speeding home to read bedtime stories to my two-year-old son.’
What do you like most about the Slide experience?
‘I can set my pick up or arrival times. This allows me to spend more time at home and maximises the time I have at work and I don’t need to leave my desk until the app tells me my Slide is 4 minutes away!
Slide means I get calm, quiet time at the start and finish of my busy working day. If I have no work I need to do, I relax and watch Bristol go by.’
