“Country Thunder has an unbelievable line up of Country stars and newcomers, and we are excited to work with the festival team to help facilitate fans getting to this event,” commented Brian Allman, CEO of RYDE. “Country Thunder understands how frustrations around ingress and egress to a festival site can heavily influence fan satisfaction, and chose RYDE to help alleviate some of the traffic and parking issues associated with these large scale events. RYDE provides a safe way for fans to partake of the party aspect of the festival, while at the same time reducing carbon emissions by taking cars off the road.”

“We were looking to enhance our shuttle transportation process and make sure we provide easy festival access for our fans. RYDE is a great partner for our regional shuttle needs, and their collaborative approach has made this partnership easy,” said April Harbour, General Manager at Country Thunder Music Festivals.  “Music festivals are all about the overall fan experience, and RYDE is helping us to attain maximum customer satisfaction as we also address the environmental aspect of thousands of cars getting to Country Thunder.”
