As you spend hours in this never ending traffic you wonder what you could be doing if you could be saved from this traffic jam and as you ponder upon this possibility someone is already working on a solution read on…
Turning a challenge into an opportunity
Traffic nightmares are a reality of modern day city life. With an ever growing number of cars and vehicles the roads are overflowing with traffic.
Blame it on the large number of choices of vehicles available to buy, the availability to easy financing or a falsely created consumer demand or the lack of last mile connectivity between your place of residence and place of work that makes you get your own car as a way to commute.
Then there is a never ending sale of cars that keep adding to the road every day.
Blessed are those towns which have a no car policy however they have the blessing of having every place accessible by foot or bicycle.
For us who are not living in such places it is mostly work that keeps us tied to big cities with their never ending traffic woes.
While a lot of people keep blaming the lack of planning by the civic authorities or absence of proper network of roads, motorway and flyovers of the city infrastructure.
Even when the new infrastructure namely roads, highways and flyovers get added the reality is the pace of growth of the vehicles and traffic on the roads outpaces the pace at which the roads and other relevant infrastructure is built.
Here we are stuck in endless traffic jams and snarls till the end of time an innovative business startup is transforming the life of people stuck in these traffic jams by literally taking your place in the traffic jam.
How does the solution work?
You are stuck in a traffic jam. You see only cars everywhere that are hardly moving or moving at a snail's pace.
You pick your phone and connect with a service via an app or by calling them.
They send a rescue team your way.
What does the team consist of?
The team heading your way consists of 2 men on a bike/(2 wheeler) that navigates between the cars and reaches you as soon as they can. Lo behold they are here to rescue you from the traffic jam that you are stuck in.
One of the team members takes your place in the driver's seat to take your car to its intended destination once the traffic clears.
The other team member drives you as the pillion rider and takes you to your intended destination. This solution works on the idea that cars need more space to move and bikes can still find their way in between cars and reach the destination faster.
The end result is that you save a couple of hours of your valuable time and get to spend it with family, friends or doing anything you like.
The cost for such a service is $60 per ride and currently it is a business that operates in China.
