Exploring Ridesharing
Whether you’ve never used ridesharing before, or you consider yourself an expert, we’re here to help with some of the best ridesharing tips around. Ridesharing for seniors doesn’t need to be a stressful ordeal. Here at GoGoGrandparent, we offer some of the best senior advice to help you or your loved one have great ridesharing experiences.
What Is Ridesharing
Ridesharing refers to convenient transportation options like Uber or Lyft. These are drivers who use their personal vehicles to pick up passengers nearby. GoGoGrandparent makes it possible to use Uber and Lyft without a smartphone and with increased reliability and customization for older adults and people with disabilities. With just a simple call to 1 (855) 464-6872, GoGo connects you to rides on-demand or on a schedule.
What Are The Challenges With Booking A Rideshare Without GoGo
Most on-demand transportation solutions put the responsibility of managing a driver onto the customer or their family members. It falls on them to schedule their rides to appointments, verify with the driver that they understand their pickup instructions, vet the vehicle being assigned, among other details. That means that the person who set up the trip appointment must be monitoring the trip in real time. If a loved one was setting this up for their parents, what seemed simple now requires their complete attention to make sure the trip request and pickup go off smoothly. GoGo manages this on behalf of you, your loved ones, and millions of others every year.
