ISLAMABAD: Timesaco, a Chinese technology services company, is ready to introduce Tatu Mobility, a transportation infrastructure network, to promote e-transport sector business in Pakistan, an official said on Wednesday.

“We are all set to launch Tatu Mobility in Pakistan on January 1, 2020, for which an event has been scheduled for December 31,” said Donald Li, founder and CEO of Tatu Mobility, while talking to Associated Press of Pakistan.

Li said Tatu Mobility would provide Mobility Services to all public transports including individual, business corporations, merchants, private organizations, and government sector. “These services include taxi hailing, pick-and-drop, bus booking, vehicle rental, and others,” he added.

Tatu Mobility would provide Mobility Services through its Ecosystem Platform based on Internet plus technology, Li said adding it would provide an IOT (Internet of Things) based transportation network in which all existing private and public transportation networks would be rebuild and revamped into this technology. “Now, all customers can book and track their mobility through Tatu Mobility applications,” he said.

He further said in Tatu Mobility people would be able to get several discounts by using different features including Event Creation, Group Creation, and FreeRide.

“An individual and corporations can create different groups and events on Tatu Mobility application, and can track, chat with each other in coming future.” Replying to a question he said business corporations and merchants were also allowed to add unlimited staffs, fans, friends, and customers into Tatu Mobility.

“These features will create easy communications and convenient marketing for them.” He said Customer2Store and Customer2Site services could be the main transportation solutions for Pakistan’s business sectors.

To another question, Li said Tatu Mobility would work under the umbrella of Timesaco, which had already launched its online ride-hailing service (Buraq Taxi Service) in ten cities of Pakistan, providing services to individuals and corporations.

Timesaco, following introduction of Buraq Taxi Service, has formulated a wide-ranging policy to entice users towards its new service to help make it competitive since Careem and Uber are already functional in the market.

“From now onward, Tatu Mobility will focus on transportation sectors and in later on Timesaco also plans to launch other Instant Services for logistics in Pakistan,” Li said. It must be noted that e-transport sector is expanding in Pakistan. The service providers are now eying a larger market with mass e-transport solutions. The Dubai-headquartered Careem that is being acquired by Uber is launching Careem Bus to challenge Airlift, the local startup that pioneered the app-based bus hailing service in Pakistan.
