“We feel proud that we have now managed to reach 20,000 subscribers since our launch in Malta just over two years ago,” says GoTo chief marketing officer Johnny Tominaga.
Mr Tominaga thanked the company's employees for their contribution, saying, "this latest achievement is testament to the GoTo team’s dedication and determination to constantly improve the service we offer our customers. It encourages us to work even harder towards our future goals.”
Launched in Malta in late 2018, GoTo aims to revolutionise Malta’s transport network by offering sustainable, affordable and convenient travel alternatives through its exclusive fleet of shared electric cars and scooters.
The multi-modal vehicle sharing provider has gained popularity on the island through its One-Way and Roundtrip services, accessible to members via the company’s user-friendly app.
The company says its new milestone is part of an overall period of growth particularly over 2020.
As well as expanding its multi-modal fleet, the vehicle sharing platform says it also ensured its full range of services met the ever-rising reservation figures following the COVID-19 pandemic.
Meanwhile, it sought to help the wider community through the challenging COVID times by supporting local businesses and the life-changing work of charities such as the Malta Red Cross and the Foodbank Lifeline Foundation with vehicles and manpower.
“[GoTo's] contribution as a transportation service was also important throughout the COVID-19 crisis,” continues Mr Tominaga. “It offered Malta’s commuters a convenient travel option that gave them full control over whether they would drive alone or with other passengers.
GoTo also says it took measures to make sure its customers had the extra peace of mind of driving a shared vehicle that was regularly and thoroughly cleaned and followed all Government protocols regarding the pandemic.
“Looking ahead, GoTo [is] keeping positive about the company’s performance in 2021 as [it] looks towards increasing [its] subscriber numbers even further. [The company has] a number of exciting projects in the pipeline.” Mr Tominaga adds.
