278 Ford’s ride-sharing shuttle service Chariot is expanding operations in London to help companies and campuses improve commuter journeys and reduce the number of vehicles on the road.


Chariot’s minibus service started operating in the UK capital earlier this year to help connect commuters living and working in areas underserved by public transport.

The first new shuttle service is part of an agreement sustainable transport group EasitNetwork. It will serve commuters at Stockley Park – a business park containing firms such as IBM, Apple and BP, near Heathrow - and Hayes & Arlington Station.

Users can book a trip on Chariot’s 14-seat shuttle and track their vehicle’s progress in real-time via the company’s smartphone app.

The shuttle is free for Chariot app users until 1 December. It will then only be available to EasitNetwork members.

At least not according to the OECD 2013 report Cycling, Health and Safety which contains the statement: ‘Cyclists are often forgotten in the design of the road traffic system’. Looking through the statistics that exist (each country appears to compile them differently) it is not difficult to see how such a conclusion cou

    The safety benefits of C/AVs have long been promoted – but research suggests they should also contribute to cheaper roads. David Crawford investigates the potential benefits in infrastructure costs Building narrower freeway lanes to accommodate the enhanced route-tracking capabilities of connected and autonomous vehicles (C/AVs), running in platoon conditions, could result in cost savings of £0.5 million (€0.56 million or US$6.5 million) for every km of road length built. Such benefits could be secur
