New Zealand’s local rideshare service Zoomy has revealed plans to start operating in Christchurch this year.
First launched in Wellington and Auckland, Zoomy said it started recruiting drivers in Christchurch in September. It now has hundreds registered and expects the interest to continue.
“Cantabs have been asking for months about when we will be coming to Christchurch, and like with all the things we do, we listened, and here we come,” Zoomy CEO James Fisk said. “We want to be able to offer Kiwis choice in the ridesharing market, bring down the cost of travel, and also provide better income for Christchurch’s drivers.”
The exact date of launch for Zoomy in Christchurch is yet to be announced, but Fisk made it clear he wants to be there in time for cricket season.
Zoomy sees itself as an ethical alternative ride service. It requires all its drivers to have a current Passenger Endorsement licence, insurance, and be NZTA compliant.
