Taxis help local economy in more ways than one, they do more than help people get from A to B—they play a vital role in supporting regional economies. In areas like East London and Essex, where Voomride operates, taxis are helping small businesses succeed. Whether it’s bringing customers to high streets or helping staff get to work, the positive impact runs deep.
Driving Footfall to Local Businesses
Small businesses rely heavily on customer traffic. Without steady footfall, many struggle to survive. In places where public transport is inconsistent or unavailable, services like Voomride help connect consumers with local shops, cafés, and salons.
By offering dependable transport, taxis make it easier for people to choose local shopping and dining options. This boosts sales and strengthens community loyalty.
Improving Staff Mobility and Punctuality
Transport is often a barrier for employees, especially those working early or late shifts. In fact, many regional workers face limited public transport options, affecting their job choices and punctuality.
Taxis offer flexibility and speed. A reliable ride means staff can reach their jobs on time—vital for small businesses in hospitality, care, and retail.
Boosting the Local Economy
SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprises) make up 99.9% of the UK’s business population and employ over 61% of the workforce.
Taxis help these businesses thrive. They increase access to customers and employees, while also generating jobs in the transport sector itself.
In Essex, the local transport strategy highlights the need for more flexible and community-first options. Taxis can fill that gap.
