Simplifying assisted travel

MISSION

A software solution to enable rail users with disabilities access public transportation in the same manner as the general travelling public.

VISION

No Passengers Left Behind. It helps empower station and train staff and make booking rail assistence not a big deal.

VALUES

To make every rail journey you take as stress-free as possible. Our trusted technology means you can let station staff know your exact accessibility needs.

What is Rail Assist ?

We have made a website that tracks disabled rail users in real-time as they travel on trains. Users create a user profile with their name, photo and special requirements, which is then sent to station staff, who are kept updated on the location of the passenger and notified there is a delay, change of platform or missed train. Both passengers and staff can also use the app to message each other
