G’day parents and caregivers! If you’ve been fretting about how to keep the older folks in your family connected and independent, we have some brilliant news for you! GoGoGrandparent, famed for their top-notch transportation solutions in North America, has just rolled up to Australian shores in style, teaming up with Uber Health. Now, getting around for oldies and people with disabilities will be easier than ever!
Down Under seniors can just dial up GoGoGrandparent at 13 4628 and book a comfy Uber ride without even needing a smartphone or the Uber app. Can you believe it? It’s like having a magic wand, but instead of casting spells, you’re summoning a safe and reliable set of wheels!
Tony Sullivan, 79, a wise ex-teacher from the Brisbane suburbs turned happy GoGo user, shared his delight with us:
“I took it to and from the appointment and arrived on time,” Sullivan praised. “It was excellent service. I just have to press a few digits on my phone, and a car picks me up as soon as possible, which is really simple. I’ve been really happy with this new option. It suits me well.”
So, how does GoGoGrandparent work, you ask? Let’s shine some light on their fantastic service:
- Accessible Transportation: They’ve made it super easy for seniors to ring up and ask for a ride, whether on a mobile or a rotary phone. The friendly GoGo team is there to help with the booking, giving a smooth ride from pick up to drop-off.
- 24/7 Customer Support: Round-the-clock support means there’s always someone to lend a hand or ear, whatever the time or ride concern might be.
- Age-friendly Customization + Oversight: The GoGo squad keeps an eye on every trip, matching drivers and vehicles that meet each passenger’s specific needs, which means peace of mind for everyone involved, including family and carers who can track the ride in real-time.
- Wide Service Area: They’re aiming to cover all the major city spots plus the quieter suburban patches, making sure Aussies can get a ride where Uber’s available, which is just about everywhere!
Justin Boogaard, the co-founder and CEO of GoGoGrandparent expressed his excitement about their Aussie arrival:
“We are thrilled to bring our transportation solution to Australia so that older adults and those with disabilities have a reliable, accessible, and convenient way to request rides. Our mission is to ensure that people can enjoy the freedom of mobility as they age, and our work with Uber Health will now help us support Australians’ independence.”
Sarah Fosterling, Uber’s Head of Enterprise and Partnerships in APAC, echoed the excitement:
“Uber Health has been working to bridge these gaps in transportation access since its founding in 2018. We’re excited to strengthen our collaboration with GoGoGrandparent as they bring this necessary solution to better serve older Australians.”
