Swvl Inc, a global mass transit solutions provider, has announced a partnership with City Group Co, a transport operator, to provide a new transport platform for residents of Kuwait.
The Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) partnership will involve developing a platform of various on-demand services including ride hailing, ride sharing and network buses, as well as school and commerical solutions.
Swvl and City Group intend to initially focus on producing their Citylink Shuttle program, which will reportedly include demand responsive transportation (DRT) and other services, with the goal of growing to 100 or more vehicles over the next six months.
Mostafa Kandil, founder and CEO of Swvl, said, “We are excited to partner with City Group to
bring next generation of transportation solutions to Kuwait.
“We are deeply committed to the Kuwaiti transport sector and believe that collectively, we have the unique ability to transform the current offering and customer experience for the benefit of the country’s daily passengers.
“In the process, we will make mobility more reliable, affordable, and convenient.”
Following these phases, Swvl and City Group hope to build a platform using City Group’s remaining vehicles.
