Mobility platform Jyrney has announced a new partnership with Safety as a Standard to help support improved safety standards for taxi and private hire journeys.
As part of the deal, Jyrney and Safety as a Standard will collaborate on driver training, supplier audits and technology.
Manchester-based Jyrney has created a mobility platform bringing together taxi, car rental, coach and micro-mobility. It works with travel management companies, online booking tools and GDSs through white label solutions and APIs, as well as connecting suppliers with corporate customers.
Safety as a Standard is a consultancy that promotes, enhances, monitors and audits safety standards for companies across the private hire and taxi industries.
Daniel Price, co‐founder and CEO of Jyrney, said: “Duty of care for these taxi trips is often overlooked, and while our solution already offers a fully audited and managed supply chain, working with Safety as a Standard enables us to set new benchmarks for safety expectations.”
The two companies will work together to improve Jyrney’s supplier audit to ensure drivers and taxi firms have the right level of support to provide the highest safety levels. Safety as a Standard will also provide free safety talks and discounts to Jyrney’s network of operators.
