Solving a Cumbrian Problem
We know that in Cumbria, many taxi journeys are short and spread out, which can make some jobs feel less worthwhile.
Rue has been built to help unlock that market by connecting passengers with the nearest available licensed local driver or firm. That means drivers are more likely to be within reach of a fare, passengers get a quicker and more reliable service, and local firms have more opportunity to earn.
Rue is a local platform, built in Cumbria, to support licensed local drivers and taxi firms, not replace them. We understand the challenges across the area. Passengers often struggle to find an available taxi, while drivers can spend time running empty between jobs. Rue is designed to help solve that by bringing bookings into one place and making local transport work better for everyone.
With Rue, we aim to:
- increase visibility for local drivers and firms
- reduce empty mileage
- create more consistent work
- help drivers stay active once office staff have gone home
- We do not employ drivers
We are here to champion local firms by providing technology that supports and strengthens the local taxi network.
