Enhancing Your Journey with Quiet Ride Mode

We're excited to announce the launch of our new Quiet Ride mode, designed for passengers who prefer a peaceful, conversation-free journey. Whether you need to focus on work, enjoy some downtime, or simply prefer a quiet environment, this new feature ensures your ride is tailored to your preferences.

The Power of Silence

In today's fast-paced world, moments of quiet can be rare and valuable. Our Quiet Ride mode was developed in response to passenger feedback highlighting the need for a peaceful option during their journeys. This feature allows you to indicate your preference for a quiet, conversation-free ride when booking, ensuring both you and your driver have clear expectations from the start.

How It Works

When booking your ride through the Arrivy app, simply select the "Quiet Ride" option. Your driver will be notified of your preference, and will keep conversation to essential communication only. This creates a peaceful environment where you can work, rest, or simply enjoy the journey in silence.

Perfect for Multiple Scenarios

Our Quiet Ride mode is ideal for various situations:

  • Business professionals who need to prepare for meetings or make important calls during their journey
  • Remote workers transitioning between locations who need to maintain focus
  • Students studying or reviewing notes on the way to classes
  • Individuals who simply prefer a peaceful, low-stimulation environment
  • Evening travelers winding down after a long day

Designed with Respect

Quiet Ride mode is built on mutual respect between passengers and drivers. Our drivers are trained to recognize and honor this preference while still ensuring a safe, professional service. Essential communication about the route, safety information, or arrival updates will still be provided, but casual conversation will be kept to a minimum.

The Science of Silence

Research has shown that periods of quiet can reduce stress, improve concentration, and enhance overall wellbeing. In a noisy world, creating intentional spaces for quiet can have significant benefits for mental health and productivity. Our Quiet Ride mode is designed with these benefits in mind, offering you a pocket of peace in your busy day.

Customer Feedback

Early feedback from our Quiet Ride mode testing has been overwhelmingly positive. Business travelers particularly appreciate the opportunity to prepare for meetings, while evening riders enjoy the chance to decompress after a busy day. We've refined the feature based on user suggestions to ensure it meets the needs of our diverse passenger base.

"The Quiet Ride option has transformed my morning commute. I can now use that time to prepare for my day or catch up on reading without interruption. It's a small change that has made a big difference to my daily routine."
— Michael T., Norwich business professional
