CE Newsletter - 28/11/2006

For non-members/ members quoting faulty ids / people who mark CE mail as spam :) etc

How you doing? This is a sliiiightly long mail. But am sure it will be
worth your while :)

Its been a while since we provided updates on commute easy, so here
goes..

Lets start with some cool news for our poolers:
Radio Mirchi is planning to promote commute easy in a big way through
'bengaluru habba'. They want to put guys who have started pooling on
air. So please send us a mail at
ipool@commuteeasy.com with your phone
no and some pooling details and we will forward it to them.


Some big positives over the last month:

1.There have been a large number of people who have started actively
pooling using this site which of course is the purpose:) .It gives us a
lot of encouragement that it is actually happening to such a degree and
at this pace!

2.The number of registered users has gone up to about 2400 now which
again proves Bangaloreans commitment to making Bangalore better and
their openness to pooling.

3.There has been some nice media publicity we have landed with. Commute
Easy was featured in Times of India, Praja Vani, Times Now, Radio
channels (92.7 and 94.3) , blogs etc.
We would like to extend a big, warm thank you to all our members who
have taken it upon themselves to spread the buzz and doing a fab job at
it.

4.There have been offers by corporates to provide special discounts to
commute easy users on various products and services. We are working
these out and will let you know at the earliest.

5.We are coming up with some cool Commute easy merchandise which we will
give away to out poolers:).So do report your pools if you are in one!

Not so good: :(

1.Our plans to provide cheap transport through city taxis took a beating
when the city taxis hiked up the rate to 12Rs/Km.Prior to this we were
close to getting this at 8Rs/km. However we have spoken to the president
of city taxis in Bangalore and he has agreed to try this out on a trial
basis at 12rs/km. It would still come down to about 3Rs/km/head with 4
guys pooling. So if you are interested do let us know at
rental@commuteeasy.com


The following locations have been added:
www.commuteeasy.com/newLocations.jsp .You can update your profile if you
pass by any of these places.

As always we look forward to your suggestions. Mail them directly at
admin@commuteeasy.com or post it on our blog commuteeasy.blogspot.com

Environmentally yours,
CE Team :)
