In a significant milestone for Guyana’s transportation industry, Book A Ride, the innovative 24/7 ground transportation provider, is celebrating its second anniversary.
Founded under the visionary leadership of CEO Ken Deocharran, Book A Ride has quickly become an essential part of everyday life for many Guyanese and a vital solution for traveling visitors, offering flexible and dependable 24/7 transportation solutions.
Ken Deocharran, having experienced the challenges of unreliable ground transportation services firsthand, was inspired to create a platform that truly meets the needs of its users.
Book A Ride enhances passenger security and trust by allowing users to identify their driver and car details prior to pickup, track their driver’s location in real-time, and access 24/7 customer service through the In-App chat feature. Drivers benefit from similar visibility of their passengers, significantly increasing their willingness to work for a 24/7 ground transportation provider.
Since its launch, Book A Ride has experienced impressive growth. With over 15,000 registered users and more than 200,000 completed rides, the service has clearly resonated with the public. This success is credited to the company’s dedication to meeting the needs of both local residents and visitors.
To further enhance its offerings, Book A Ride has recently introduced new services, including Corporate Ground Transportation Solutions, Book Advertise Services, and Book Delivery, also known as Book A Butler.
The Corporate service allows businesses to outsource their transportation needs while maintaining quality control through the Corporate Customer portal. The Book Advertise service enables companies to market their brand wherever a Book A Ride car travels and within the app to thousands of users.
Book Delivery offers the convenience of having Book A Butler cater to shopping or delivery needs from the comfort of home. These innovations reflect the company’s dedication to setting new standards in customer satisfaction, convenience, and service delivery.
Book A Ride’s impact extends beyond transportation. The company has partnered with Ken Kares, an initiative by its sister company Express International, to establish a corporate social responsibility framework. This partnership has facilitated several community-driven activities, including a book drive aimed at improving literacy rates and fostering an educated workforce in Guyana.
