Zeelo launches critical-worker commute offering to help essential service providers beat Coronavirus

With the recent outbreak of COVID-19, healthcare, food, utility and critical logistic teams across the UK and SA are being tested like never before.

The safe movement of staff has never been so important and with public transport services closing down and causing a risk to employees wellbeing we have decided to dramatically improve our service standards to be able to support the healthcare, food, utility and critical logistics workers industries.

Zeelo have developed a pool of high-quality operators from our network to deliver a service that enables these key industries to keep staff travelling to and from work safely during this turbulent time.

Here’s what we’re doing:

1 Vehicles to be deep cleaned before each day of operation

2 Drivers will be fully suited in protective uniforms to reduce the risk of infection spreading  

3 There will be a no-contact policy onboard – Drivers will check riders passes without contact to riders or their phones

4 We will cap the number of people on vehicles so that the 2m social distancing guidelines will be adhered to

5 Hand sanitiser will be offered on all services for riders

6 We can be fully flexible on a daily basis – taking people from temporary accommodation such as hotels and residential locations

The level of sanitisation, vehicle sizes, driver hygiene equipment and spacing between passengers can all be discussed and customised to fit your specific needs

Healthcare, food, utility and critical logistics staff, now more than ever need a safe, stress and risk-free way to get to and from work to ensure they can relax and overcome fatigue before heading back to the front line.

Zeelo’s boss Sam Ryan. “We are here to help where we can and support to oversee the operations of the services so the healthcare, food, utility and critical logistics professionals can focus on the most important job at hand during this challenging time”

The Zeelo Team wants you to stay safe
