Providing a safer Ride for the Vulnerable
Nationwide
Requesting a ride has become one of the easiest things to do, you pull out your phone and with a touch of a button a driver will be sent to your location. But requesting a safer ride has become even harder.
If you live with a disability, use a wheelchair to get around or have a service animal, you are more likely to get your rides cancelled on the spot or have the other problem of nobody turning up due to the lack of accessible vans. This will result in you missing your meetings, being late to important life events and having to scramble around trying to find other ways to get to your destination leaving you in a vulnerable and open space to get attacked or sexually assaulted by any individual/s which will leave you completely on edge and with mental scars that will take months, sometimes years to heal.
We have all stressed over the safety of ourselves, a friend or a loved one traveling with a complete stranger. Worrying about something bad happening during the ride or whether we will get to our final destination safely, but with this service we are looking to not only eliminate that gut wrenching feeling but also transform the availability in requesting a safer and more reliable alternative.
There's honestly no such thing as too big or too small, anything will be truly appreciated.

APP Update 27 January 2026
Hi everyone, just a quick update on the progress of the APP project.
Thanks to you guys. I’ve managed to book the workshop to go over our application with the developers as well as set up easy segments to make our development process easy and straightforward. In two weeks time (once the trains are fully running in Auckland) I will finally sit down with the developers to go over and design the APP. I will post an update on here once that is done too!
As you may know, software development is not only time consuming but it also isn’t the cheapest and getting funds for this project has been a hassle hence why this page still being up as well as my constant social media posts but with the New Year and new connections made I am confident that we will have this development in process soon 🤞
Just letting you know that I am still trucking along regardless of setbacks and I am forever grateful for the constant support I’ve been getting from you guys.
Thanks again, Barney.
