Most business travellers opt to use a ride-sharing app to move around a city for work. According to a GBTA report, 74% of people use these services at least sometimes, with over a third making it a regular habit.
Theyre convenient and feel familiar, even when everything else around you is new.
But as anyone travelling for work knows, ride-sharing isnt always smooth sailing.
According to Jaco Brits, FCMs head of account management, sometimes, business travellers are left tapping their foot on a quiet street corner, watching the minutes tick by before a big meeting, or they could find themselves explaining to their finance team why the ride across town cost three times more than usual.
Safety is another thing thats often on a travellers mind. A study by a global TMC found that over 40% of business travellers are concerned about personal safety when using ride-sharing services.
