Corporate Carpooling in Tunisia: Reduce Your Transport Costs by 40%

Corporate Carpooling in Tunisia: Reduce Your Transport Costs by 40%
Summary:
---
The daily transport of employees is often the most poorly controlled mobility expense in a company. Each employee takes an individual taxi, notes their expenses separately, and management receives 20 or 50 expense reports at the end of the month — with no visibility on the total cost or on duplicate trips.
The solution exists and has been used by Tunisian companies for several years: **organized corporate carpooling**, or pooling taxi.

1. The problem of individual taxi reimbursements {#probleme}
Imagine 8 employees working in the same industrial zone and living in neighborhoods close to Tunis. Each takes a PRO taxi alone every morning. The cost per trip:
For 8 employees, 22 working days: **29 × 8 × 22 = 5,104 DT/month**

2. How E-Taxi pooling works {#pooling}
E-Taxi pooling is a **organized shared vehicle** — not random pickups. Here’s the principle:
Available vehicles depending on group size:

3. Concrete calculation: 8 employees, ZI Ben Arous {#calcul}
**Scenario:** 8 employees, 2 geographical corridors, departure 7:30 AM
Pooling organization:
Pooling cost vs individual:
| Mode | Vehicle A (4 pers.) | Vehicle B (4 pers.) | Total/day |
|---|---|---|---|
| **Individual Taxi** | 4 × 14.6 DT = 58.4 DT | 4 × 17.8 DT = 71.2 DT | **129.6 DT** |
| **E-Taxi Pooling** | 1 trip × 25 DT | 1 trip × 30 DT | **55 DT** |
| **Savings** | −33.4 DT | −41.2 DT | **−74.6 DT/day** |
> *Pooling rate calculated: PRO base 5 DT + kilometers traveled + multi-stop surcharge. The trip is made only once, costs divided among passengers.*

4. Monthly and annual savings {#economies}
Using the above scenario (one way, 22 working days):
| | Individual Taxi | E-Taxi Pooling | Savings |
|---|---|---|---|
| **Per day** | 129.6 DT | 55 DT | 74.6 DT |
| **Per month (22d)** | 2,851 DT | 1,210 DT | **1,641 DT** |
| **Per year** | 34,212 DT | 14,520 DT | **19,692 DT** |
| **Savings** | — | — | **−57%** |
Including the return trip (same logic), **annual savings exceed 39,000 DT** for just 8 employees. For 20 or 50 employees, the impact becomes strategic.

5. Conditions to implement pooling {#conditions}
Corporate taxi pooling works well in these situations:
Favorable:
Less suitable:
In this last case, a combination of **pooling for fixed trips + individual PRO account for ad hoc travel** remains the most effective formula.
