SLT Digital Info Services (Pvt) Ltd (SLTDS) is set to offer ride-sharing services in Sri Lanka under the brand name of ‘SLT muve’.
The innovative transport service was launched at the Nelum Pokuna, Colombo recently after a month-long trial.
The ‘SLT muve’ app aims to provide its driver partners with a mutually beneficial partnership that is unparalleled to any other similar service existing in the country, while also delivering an experience that is economical, safe and reliable to passengers.
This initiative aims to rectify issues in the industry around fairness, reliability, quality and value for money. ‘SLT muve’ will overcome these challenges by offering a robust app with 24-hour support center for riders and drivers, stronger privacy protocols, driver training, clean and safe vehicles, and the ability for riders to share their transport itinerary with friends or family.
Co-Founder, Director, Muve, Australia, Vajira Jayasooriya said, “We are a socially responsible company and believe all who work with us, or use services we provide, are stakeholders. We have a responsibility to be fair and to give something back to all involved. I believe Sri Lanka has diversified mobility needs, a business-friendly environment and an inclusive culture.”
CEO of SLT Muve and CEO of SLT Digital Info Services, Malraj Balapitiya said, “We believe there is a gap in the market for a high quality, safe and cost-effective mode of transport. The focus will be on greater Colombo initially and then expand our services to other high demand areas.
Being a trusted company for 160 years, we are truly committed to treating our driver partners with care and aim to raise their living standards. We are confident about our drivers’ job security.
We actively follow a zero-tolerance discrimination policy. A unique feature of our app will be a transparent driver commission structure.”
