Shotl Driver

Shotl On-demand Shuttles is a platform for mass transport operators and smart cities that matches multiple passengers headed in the same direction with an available vehicle. At Shotl, we want to help cities and corporations make a better use of its bus system by replacing low-ridership routes with on-demand shuttles in order to lead a progressive transition from a primarily car-based personal mobility towards a future multi-modal integrated mobility. The Driver’s App guides the vehicle to retrieve the passengers at a pick-up point and expresses them to the final drop-off point. All routes are fully dynamic and adjusted in real time, based on traffic and demand. The Shotl algorithms are made to ensure the maximum punctuality on every ride. Shotl provides effective pooled transportation, hence all rides are shared with other passengers heading to a similar destination or with common directions.
BLCK DRIVER

BLCK is the chauffeur companion app for approved BLCK drivers. Access is invite-only — drivers join the platform through a BLCK or fleet invitation. Manage your driving day end to end: - Start and end shifts, track breaks, and see your live on-duty status at a glance - Receive and accept trip offers matched to you, with pickup, route, and timing details - Navigate to pickups and dropoffs with live ETAs shared to your passengers - Stay connected through per-trip and team chat with operations and clients - Follow each trip on the lock screen with Live Activities — no need to keep the app open - Review your completed trips, earnings summary, and shift history BLCK is built around long-term driver–client relationships rather than one-off rides. Note: this app is for drivers only. Passengers use the separate BLCK client app.
