GUIDELINE FOR USING MYTRAVELTHRU’S DRIVER APP

What are Driver Events?

Driver Events are live updates sent to customers during their trip alerting them to the current status of the driver in relation to the Pick Up.

There are five types of events:

Driver Event

Description

I am heading to pickup address

Driver started the job and is on their way to the pickup location

I arrived at the pickup address

Driver has arrived at the pickup location and is ready to meet the customer

Passenger on board

Driver has collected the customer and is on their way to the drop-off location

Passenger no-show

Driver has waited the allotted waiting time, has made reasonable attempt to contact the customer per our commercial agreement

I dropped the passenger

Driver has completed the ride and has dropped off the customer

All events requested should be registered when the car is not moving. Please ensure drivers are not using their phones while driving.

Why are Driver Events important?

Driver Events are proven to have a positive impact on customer experience as the customer is more aware of where their driver is and so lowers anxiety of a driver no-show. Therefore, this will improve your Quality scores which will always be a key metric that MyTravelThru will evaluate partners on.

The benefits of sending Driver Events are not only for customers.

Providing Driver Events also helps in the event of a customer dispute, should a customer contact us to report their driver being late, or not showing up. We’ll have all the information we need to resolve the matter without needing to contact you for evidence. 

It is very important that Driver Events are provided with GPS logs (lat, long).

Make sure you turned on location sharing for CBS Driver App before update Driver event.
