Shared travel-to-work service Slide is challenging Bristolians to join others across the world in going car free on World Car Free Day on 22 September.
Slide Bristol is offering a very techie shared commuting solution that helps beat traffic, save money and the environment.
Using Slide’s free app, Bristol people can book a ride across town in a Slide mini-bus that is like a bus and a taxi rolled into one but with all the good bits.
The app uses a clever algorithm to work out the quickest route, ensuring it covers the drop-offs, and all with live updates on where the vehicle currently is in its schedule.
“Bristol is renowned for its culture of embracing new technologies and doing things ‘differently’. Slide Bristol is a great example of this”
Imogen Dow, Go Green Co-ordinator Bristol, said: “Bristol is renowned for its culture of embracing new technologies and doing things ‘differently’. Slide Bristol is a great example of this, providing commuters with an easy and alternative way to travel around the city. This time of year we see traffic at its worst, so with World Car Free Day on Thursday being promoted in Bristol, we hope lots of people will support it by giving Slide a try.”
So if you would like to ‘Slide to work’, download the free app from the app store. Don’t forget to follow them on Twitter and get involved with the Hashtag #carfreeday.
