The Chandler Flex app makes it easier than ever to move around Chandler, AZ — with a few taps, book a ride using the app and we’ll pair you with others headed your way. How does Chandler Flex work? - Chandler Flex is an on-demand travel concept that takes multiple passengers heading in the same direction and books them into a shared vehicle. - Using the app, input your address and we’ll match you with a vehicle going your way. We’ll pick you up on a nearby corner and drop you off within a short walk of your chosen destination. - Now for the clever bit; our algorithms provide journey times that are comparable to a taxi and much more convenient than other modes of travel, making on-demand transportation easier than ever before! What we’re about: SHARED. Our tech matches people headed in the same direction. This means you’re getting the convenience and comfort of a private ride with the efficiency and affordability of a public one. SUSTAINABLE. Sharing rides reduces the number of vehicles on the roads, bringing down congestion and CO2 emissions. With a couple of taps, you get to do your part to make your city a little bit greener and cleaner, every time you ride. AFFORDABLE. Aggregating people into one vehicle brings down prices.
