Last May, Fortugno launched InOrbis, which ferries well-heeled travellers between Calgary and Edmonton in Tesla Model S and Model X cars, allowing clients to enjoy a luxury ride between the two cities while simultaneously being environmentally responsible.

Now, the brainchild of the former Haskayne School of Business electrical engineering student will join the ranks of Calgary ride-sharing companies with its own unique addition.

And maybe, in the near future, well beyond.

“It’s been going really well and growing at quite a nice pace,” Fortugno said.

“There aren’t many services like this, especially in Canada. It’s something we’re looking at expanding across Canada.”
