A Transit-Tech Triumph: Zeelo’s Journey to 10 Million Rides

In a remarkable feat of innovation and perseverance, Zeelo, a global leader in enterprise transit tech, has reached a significant milestone: 10 million rides! This achievement underscores Zeelo's rapid growth and success in revolutionising commuter transportation, solidifying our position as a frontrunner in the industry.

Our company's journey began with a bold mission to provide efficient, sustainable, and affordable transportation solutions. It took Zeelo 4 1/2 years to deliver its first million rides. Now, the company operates at an impressive 500,000 rides per month, having delivered over 3.2 million rides so far this year alone. This exponential growth speaks volumes about the effectiveness and demand for Zeelo's innovative services.

Zeelo services have taken 9.5 million cars off the road since the company began in 2017, with 27,600t CO2e saved by transitioning riders away from single occupancy journeys. That is the same climate impact as:

• Planting 455,000 new trees
• The annual energy usage of 3,483 homes
• 98,820 flights from LA to New York

‍Reflecting on this achievement, CEO Sam Ryan remarked, "Reaching and exceeding 10 million rides is a remarkable achievement for Zeelo and a clear indicator of the impact we are making within the industry. This milestone reflects the dedication and hard work of the entire team and our commitment to providing equitable transportation solutions that are urgently needed by our clients and riders. We’re only just getting started!"

Zeelo's success story doesn't end here. We have celebrated several other significant milestones recently:

• Kura Acquisition: In a strategic move to bolster our market position, Zeelo acquired Kura, a UK leader in the managed transport sector. This acquisition has now resulted in the largest virtual bus operation in the UK, serving over 220 customers, 480 operator partners, and 40,000 daily riders.

• Financial Times FT1000: Zeelo's impressive growth trajectory has earned it the #118 spot on the Financial Times FT1000 list of the fastest-growing companies in Europe.

• European CEO of the Year: CEO Sam Ryan has been named European CEO of the Year for the second consecutive year, a prestigious accolade that recognizes his exceptional leadership and the remarkable growth Zeelo has achieved under his guidance.

• Sifted100 Leaderboard: Zeelo's rapid development and success in the tech and startup ecosystem have secured it a notable position at #35 on the Sifted100 leaderboard.

These accomplishments highlight Zeelo's unwavering commitment to innovation, sustainability, and excellence in the transit-tech industry. Our mission to achieve net-zero emissions from our services by 2030 remains a top priority as we continue to expand and enhance our offerings.

As we move into the second half of the year, our mission remains the same; shaping the future of transportation and providing a transformative and impactful solution for communities around the world. 

This incredible milestone is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our amazing team. It's a clear sign of the positive impact we're making in the transportation industry by providing equitable solutions for our clients and riders. Thank you to everyone who's been a part of this journey—this is only just the beginning!
