Caravan is an innovative mobility tech start-up, specialising in work commute bus services (Carlifts). A fully certified, affordable, efficient, sustainable, and socially distanced alternative to informal transport, Caravan is redefining Carlift services in the UAE and beyond.
A mobilityinnovator,Caravanis focused on expanding its work commute routes across the UAE, the GCC and Egypt, offering commuters a convenient door-to-door service from their homes to their workplaces. The more demand shown, and nominations made for particular routes, the more routes Caravan will add to its evolving network.
With Caravan, commuters can take advantage of a much friendlier, more reliable, and all-round higher quality Carlift service – one that transforms the Carlift market in the UAE for the better. Above all, commuters will have the peace of mind of knowing the Caravan work commute is legal, comprehensively certified, safe, affordable, and highly efficient.
For all its routes, Caravan partners with trusted private bus providers, which enables it to take advantage of high-quality buses and best-in-practice operational processes, ensuring commuters’ comfort, health and safety are always looked after, while social distancing requirements are effortlessly adhered to.
The Caravan app closely monitors driving behaviour and speed, and Caravan has obtained all the necessary legal permissions and official certifications from authorities to operate these routes.
Co-founded by Syed Karim (COO), Mark Hanna (CEO) and Amr Ramadan (CSO) – the Caravan concept began with a simple question: What can be done to reduce the number of cars on the road and the resulting congestion and pollution caused by them?
As most of the Caravan team are lifelong Dubai residents and hail from Delhi, Cairo and Beirut, they are no strangers to rush hour traffic congestion and the frustration, exhaustion and adverse environmental effects that come with it. They decided to pool their skillsets and tackle the problem head on. And so, Caravan was born.
While other companies looked for ways to disrupt the premium transport sector, the Caravan team set about making a sustainable and affordable impact on local communities, by solving a major problem for the vast majority of commuters throughout the UAE and beyond. Caravan is now able to utilise its cutting-edge technology to connect commuters with Carlift buses that provide them with comfortable, convenient and cost-efficient work commutes.
Commuters can access and choose their routes through the user-friendly technology the Caravan platform provides, which also improves the utilisation of pre-existing buses that are already on the road. The platform optimises an advanced routing algorithm and employs digitalisation of the entirety of the process, from booking to monitoring to paying, which can be done from the convenience of commuters’ own homes.
Moreover, an excellent passenger experience is ensured with every Caravan, as commuters get guaranteed seating, direct pick-ups and drop-offs, and are rid of unnecessary bus changes or walks to metro stations and bus stops, ultimately leading to hassle-free travel.
With Caravan getting ready to shape the new normal for transportation in the UAE, the exciting mobility tech start-up is already making plans to roll out new routes over the coming months, as the team looks to expand the reach of its innovative formalisation of informal bus services beyond Dubai, Sharjah and Ajman, and across other emirates in the very near future, before expanding across the whole GCC region and Egypt
