A rideshare service operating in the Courtenay/Comox community has announced a new option to be more accessible and safe for families.
Uride, which has been operating in the community for about a year, has recent introduced a booster seat option. Booster seats are now available on rides in all B.C. communities, as well as in Ontario, Alberta and New Brunswick.
"This new option allows riders to select a booster seat when booking a trip, ensuring safer and more comfortable transportation for children and peace of mind for parents," a release from the company says. "The initiative further supports Uride鈥檚 commitment to accessible, family-friendly travel solutions tailored to the needs of local communities."
鈥淲e know that for families, getting around with children can be challenging. The booster seat feature is about providing safer, stress-free travel for families with small children. We are looking to fill the gap for this much needed feature in ridesharing services鈥� said Cody Ruberto, Founder and CEO of Uride.
This launch follows Uride鈥檚 continued expansion of inclusive ride options, such as the recent Pet Friendly Ride feature. Now everyone in the family, from our furry friends to our little ones, can ride safely and comfortably with Uride.
"This rollout reinforces Uride鈥檚 dedication to building a transportation service that truly supports the day-to-day needs of families in the communities we serve," the release says. "Whether it's a school run, a weekend visit to grandma鈥檚, or a quick trip across town, Uride is committed to making every ride safer and more accessible, for every member of the family."
