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

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:

• PRO base rate: 5 DT
• Distance Tunis center → ZI Ben Arous: 12 km
• Cost per kilometer: 12 × 0.8 DT = 9.6 DT
• Total per trip: 14.6 DT (one way)
• Round trip: ~29 DT/day/employee

For 8 employees, 22 working days: 29 × 8 × 22 = 5,104 DT/month

2. How E-Taxi pooling works

E-Taxi pooling is a organized shared vehicle — not random pickups. Here’s the principle:

1. You provide us with the list of employees, their addresses, and their schedules
2. We design optimized routes: a 5-seater vehicle picks up 3–4 employees in the same geographical corridor
3. Each employee is picked up at their address at the agreed time (± 5 min)
4. One trip charged with multiple stops, fairly distributed

Available vehicles depending on group size:

• Sedan: 3–4 passengers
• Minivan: 6–8 passengers
• Minibus: up to 20 passengers (on request)

3. Concrete calculation: 8 employees, ZI Ben Arous

Scenario: 8 employees, 2 geographical corridors, departure 7:30 AM

Pooling organization:

• Vehicle A (minivan): 4 employees from Bab Bhar / Medina (12 km)
• Vehicle B (sedan): 4 employees from El Menzah / La Marsa (16 km)

Pooling cost vs individual:

*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

Using the above scenario (one way, 22 working days):

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

Corporate taxi pooling works well in these situations:

Favorable:

• At least 4 employees on close geographical corridors
• Arrival/departure times fixed or predictable (± 30 min)
• Home-work or work-airport recurring trips
• Industrial zone or single site (Ben Arous, Bir El Bey, Sousse, Sfax)

Less suitable:

• Unforeseen external meetings requiring flexible returns
• Employees very dispersed geographically (> 20 km apart)

In this last case, a combination of pooling for fixed trips + individual PRO account for ad hoc travel remains the most effective formula.

6. Take action

Well-organized corporate carpooling can halve your annual transport budget while improving your teams' punctuality.
