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.

Update 1  2 September 2024

Hi everyone, thank you for all the support! Just putting an update as there seems to be a confusion with the old page!

The funds raised from the previous page had gone towards the legal fees, licenses and other parts of setting up the business, unfortunately plans don't work out and we had to restart with the project with a new developer - and that's when I started this page.

I am currently teamed up with a new software development team that is helping me build my new accessible rideshare APP and the money raised from here will go towards the replanning and development of it. We are still trucking along and still going strong, set back are a part of business and life! I really appreciate the ongoing support from everyone, this really means alot!

Kia Kaha, Barney.
