CapitaLand, Rushowl Partner To Offer Last-Mile Transport At ITPG

CapitaLand Investment India has partnered with Singapore-based RushOwl – a smart mobility company – to provide last-mile transport to employees working at the International Tech Park Gurgaon (ITPG). Under the tie-up employees will be able to use RushOwl's ‘RushTrail' app to book a seat in a taxi or rickshaw to three nearby metro stations. The service was flagged of on Wednesday, April 27 by Tan Kiat How, Minister of State for National Development, and Communications and Information, Government of Singapore. Also present at the flag-off was Simon Wong, High Commissioner of Singapore in India.

Gauri Shankar Nagabhushanam, CEO, India Business Parks, CapitaLand Investment, said, “As an increasing number of employees are coming back to work, we are confident that this smart and eco-friendly mobility solution will offer safe and hassle-free transportation from ITPG to the nearby metro stations and cater to different work shifts. We are glad to work with like-minded partners such as RushOwl who support CapitaLand's aim to offer sustainable solutions and bring value to our tenants and park employees.”

Employees using the app can place a booking between 30 mins to one month in advance. When a booking is placed, the app's in-built AI compares the booking with others made by fellow employees before pooling passengers together on similar routes. The company says this has been done to optimise cost and vehicle usage.
