A Better Way to Travel
Launched in 2010, the GUTSI commuter service operates daily return services from Fulham, Kensington, Wandsworth and Chelsea to the City of London. Commuters benefit from:
- Carefully positioned pick up points efficiently collectivises commuters and then provides a direct transfer to their place of work
- An online booking service enables commuters to guarantee their seat in advance or cancel their seat when not required. However, unlike public transport, unused seats are not an unrecoverable expense, as commuters are incentivised to return these to ensure the vehicle is always fully occupied.
- It is fast, direct, and accesses the expansive bus lane network.
- It provides first class comfort at an affordable price, enabling your employees to be productive whilst in transit and arrive fresh for their day ahead
- Tax efficient, GUTSI has been HMRC approved as a works bus, thus employees can travel free, or pay a fare (either in full or partially subsidised) without having to pay tax or national insurance on the cost of travel (benefit)
- Employers are free to share a works bus, so the benefit is equally available to both small and large companies, or those where employee route density is low
