99, a leading app in national coverage in the category, began today the operation of 99Moto in the city of São Paulo, focusing on offering an accessible and practical mobility option for residents of the capital. The travel intermediation service between passengers and motorcyclists is being implemented gradually outside the expanded center and seeks to facilitate daily displacements, facilitating access to public transport and reducing time in traffic.
Present today in more than 3,300 municipalities in Brazil, 99Moto has contributed to make transport more accessible. With trips up to 40% more economical, on average, than car performed, the service can generate 40% more financial gains for motorcyclists, create indirect jobs and foster tax collection for the city.
Among the main benefits of the new category registered in its operation in Brazil, its use as the first and last mile in integration with public transport – more than a third of races begin or end less than 100 meters of public transport stations. The time spent in traffic can be reduced by up to 41%.
Studies show that the arrival of the modal will have a positive impact on the lives of Paulistanos, especially among women. A survey conducted by the Locomotive Institute shows that 96% of low -income women who move around the city are afraid of suffering violence such as sexual harassment and theft. Among them, about 70% think that motorcycle transport through application is a safer alternative than walking the streets.
“The Paulistanos ask us for 99moto for some time, and our data show that 3 out of 5 people want to use the service. We are proud to be able to offer this accessible and efficient mobility alternative, ”says Fabrício Ribeiro, director of operations of 99.“ 99Moto reaches the largest city in Latin America safely as a non -negotiable commitment. The gradual implementation outside the rotation zone and the dangerous speed and direction prevention technologies ensure the necessary reliability so that Paulistanos can take advantage of this modal that already help the lives of millions of Brazilians throughout the country. ”
Present throughout the country, including the cities of the metropolitan region of São Paulo, the category has the legal support to operate in the capital and other Brazilian municipalities. Since 2018, the federal law that establishes the National Urban Mobility Policy allows the private individual passenger transport service mediated by apps, for both cars and motorcycles. The legislation states that municipalities can regulate and oversee the activity with specific requirements, but cannot prohibit it. There are already more than 20 court decisions confirming this understanding, which is also confirmed by the Federal Supreme Court (STF) in a general repercussion decision.
Security In addition to legal requirements, 99 has more than 50 security features to protect users and drivers, such as speed alert with visual and sound warnings, dangerous direction, real -time running -time monitoring, emergency button and an emergency center available 24 hours. In addition, the company promotes educational actions such as instructing passengers with tips and safe behaviors tips and guidance from running, as well as online defensive direction for partner motorcyclists who use 99MOTO, complemented by app guidelines and other initiatives that reinforce their commitment to everyone’s protection. In addition, drivers who do not comply with safety and behavioral rules may suffer strict application sanctions, such as temporary or permanent blocks.
Positive economic impact for the city New Modal can also have a significant economic impact to São Paulo, with projections made by the Getúlio Vargas Foundation of nearly R $ 1 billion in Brazilian GDP, R $ 28 million in tax collection for the city and the generation of 13,000 direct and indirect jobs. Passengers and drivers are also impacted. The former can save R $ 2,500 annually in mobility costs. For motorcyclists, it will be a new opportunity for gains – in our operations in other cities we have seen increases of up to 40% in their gains, reinforcing the potential for income and economic development that the sport brings to the city.
