First and Last Mile

Cab4You

Rail transportation is a quick and convenient way for passengers to commute, providing more opportunities for work, education and leisure.

Research, carried out by McKinsey & Company — a consulting firm — revealed that the use of public transport falls by a staggering 90 per cent when passengers are required to walk more than half a mile to the closest stop or station. Those who don’t have easy access to a train station, therefore, need additional modes of travel to reach their destination.

Our Cab4You service delivers a ‘first and last mile’ solution. It provides passengers with a vetted taxi service that will simplify journeys with transportation to and from rail stations. This means that train operating companies can help passengers easily access their rail services, wherever they’re located.
