Shotl is the urban ridesharing App that conveys several passengers with similar destinations in one single vehicle. Comprising a fleet of vans or minibuses moving passengers around the city, Shotl offers flexible and efficient trips that are as dynamic as people's everyday commute. Citizens get picked-up and dropped-off within a five-minute walk in such a way that the rider's experience is not only positive but consistent, reliable and sort of fun. Download Shotl's iOS App, insert your destination, connect with a ride going your same way and get picked-up in just a few minutes.
