Routematic, a leading provider of AI-powered corporate mobility solutions, has launched “COCO Rides,” an app-based employee shuttle service aimed at easing daily commute challenges in Pune’s Hinjawadi IT hub. Developed in partnership with the Hinjawadi Industries Association (HIA), and supported by MIDC and RTO, the initiative is expected to benefit over 1.25 lakh employees across more than 80 companies.
The COCO Rides service introduces a structured approach to corporate transportation and shared mobility, addressing the growing demand for reliable employee commute solutions in one of India’s busiest IT corridors. With an initial fleet of over 80 buses, the service will operate across 70+ routes and more than 500 boarding points, connecting key residential areas in Pune to office hubs in Hinjawadi.
Designed as a fully digital platform, COCO Rides allows users to book seats through a mobile app, offering fixed routes, fixed schedules, and affordable pricing starting at Rs 100. The service can support up to 20,000 daily riders, making it a scalable solution for urban mobility and smart transportation systems.
With Pune ranked among the most congested cities globally, traffic congestion and long commute times have become major concerns for IT professionals. According to recent data, commuters in Pune spend significant time in traffic, highlighting the urgent need for efficient public transport alternatives and sustainable mobility solutions.
COCO Rides leverages AI-based fleet management and real-time tracking systems to ensure safety, reliability, and operational efficiency. The platform offers a centralized command system for monitoring routes, improving service consistency, and reducing reliance on informal carpooling or unstructured shuttle services.
This initiative aligns with broader trends in smart city development, green mobility, and corporate transport automation, helping reduce traffic congestion, lower carbon emissions, and improve employee productivity. By introducing high-capacity shared transport, Routematic aims to transform daily office commuting into a more predictable and cost-effective experience.
As demand for corporate shuttle services, shared mobility platforms, and AI-driven transport solutions continues to grow, COCO Rides positions Routematic as a key player in reshaping urban transportation and workforce mobility in India.
