Speaking on the important role of transport application on urban mobility and safety, Tummoc CEO & Co-Founder, Hiranmay Mallick said, “We have smartness, affordability and convenience at the heart of our service wherein the intention is greatly tied in with enabling safety for commuters. At Tummoc we understand that it’s not just about being able to board a vehicle that’ll somehow take you to your destination, it's also about how you get to the destination, it's the enroute experience that we care about. Solving urban mobility, Tummoc is providing a one-stop-solution for better public transportation experience. A lot of us in the transit tech field care about accessibility, convenience, environment and so on but on top of the list should also be safety, for women in particular”.
“A lot of women don’t feel safe using public transit and this apprehension is even more apparent when they travel long distances at night or alone. Why should women commuters feel unsafe and what are we doing about it? That’s the question the tech-based mobility innovators should find a solution to”, added Mallick.
This smart commute app witnessed a rise of 15% users in the past quarter, and is currently operational in a total 15 cities, having completed 2 million plus trips so far.
It provides accurate real-time public transport information, easy ticketing options and last-mile connectivity. Tummoc also recently ramped up its customer support whereby commuters are given a direct communication channel for any enroute assistance. Besides the chat feature, the app has been offering other ways to reach out to the support team via email and phone calls.
India has a large network of public transport modes, most of which are priced quite affordably but a large section of the commuters don’t see them as a great commuting option largely due to its lack of accessibility and convenience. Tummoc is bringing about a change in perception towards public transport by providing a commuter-first approach for convenience whilst helping reduce carbon footprints.
About Tummoc
India’s first multi-modal patented public transport app to help you with real-time public transport information and last-mile connectivity.
Launched in January 2021, Tummoc is the answer to the hassle of regular transportation options and the struggle to find reasonably priced short- term rides. The absurdity of a 20-minute wait for a 10-minute ride in the metro or a bus, and difficulty fulfilling the first and last mile requirements when using public transport, formed the base of Tummoc experience.
