Veezu offers last-mile trips to rail passengers via Seatfrog app

Veezu has launched a strategic partnership with rail ticketing app Seatfrog, which will allow customers using the Seatfrog app to book a Veezu car at either end of their rail journey, allowing seamless door-to-door travel.

The partnership will eliminate the need for rail passengers to wait in long taxi queues by connecting train journeys and taxi network data for the first time. Passengers’ rides will automatically connect to their rail departure and arrival times, so they can step out of the train station straight into their waiting Veezu car, providing their destination is within one of Veezu’s regional hubs.

Veezu passengers will also be able to upgrade their train tickets to first class on the way to the station from as little as £13 by using Seatfrog’s app features.

Veezu CEO Nathan Bowles said: “Partnering with Seatfrog is an exciting step towards redefining travel in key UK cities. Together, we’re going to make it easier than ever for passengers to enjoy an integrated journey and sit in the best seats on the train.”

Seatfrog CEO Iain Griffin added: “Journeys should be easy, but in the UK, we’re constantly reminded that we’re mere mortals every time we jump off a train to catch a taxi – long queues, no vehicles available, surge pricing, stress. No one has seamlessly connected taxis to train journeys, changing that is long overdue.”
