Combatting sexual violence in night-time travel
Fleet is making night-time travel safe for everyone. We carried out extensive research (funded by a prestigious Innovate UK grant) and have co-designed a service with potential service users. We’ve thought through the safety aspect from beginning to end of a journey, from waiting inside, being taken from door-to-door, CCTV, live tracking, and a discrete safety alert, to identification and accountability of travellers, and crucially, drivers highly trained in safeguarding and conflict management, all the while encouraging collective responsibility.
We simply won’t tolerate bad behaviour.
How it works
Travelling with Fleet will be easy - download the app, register, book a journey and we’ll take care of the rest.
People can wait safely inside with friends, then the driver will check you onto the bus, drive you to your door, efficiently doing pick-ups and drop-offs on the way and making sure everyone is ok.
If you do feel unsafe there’s a discrete alert on the app which will tell the driver to check in with you.
Everyone who uses the service is identifiable and accountable, including the driver. Our system is designed to stamp out bad behaviour and drivers will be trained to spot and resolve potential problems.
As well as promoting safety, Fleet will be a cheaper and more sustainable option than taxis or cars.
