S.RIDE® Expands Its Reach in Komatsu

S.RIDE Corporation, headquartered in Minato, Tokyo, is set to expand its taxi app services to the Komatsu area in Ishikawa Prefecture from July 30, 2025. This marks a significant milestone as the S.RIDE app, which is designed to provide a seamless taxi booking experience, will now be available for users in the southern Kaga transportation region, bolstering mobility options within the region.

With the introduction of S.RIDE to the fleet of 16 vehicles operated by Daiwa Taxi Group’s Daiwa Motor Transportation Co., users will enjoy an innovative and user-friendly platform for their transportation needs. This expansion follows the successful implementation of S.RIDE services in the Kanazawa area, paving the way for a stronger operational network across Ishikawa Prefecture. Additionally, S.RIDE will also introduce its corporate plan, S.RIDE Biz, in the Komatsu area, catering to both individual users and businesses alike.

Komatsu is not just a city; it is a vital transit hub for business travelers using Komatsu Airport and for tourists heading to nearby attractions such as the Kaga Onsen hot springs. The new S.RIDE services will enhance the traveling experience, allowing users to book rides effortlessly whether they're traveling from the airport or navigating within the city.

The S.RIDE app leverages cutting-edge AI and IT technologies developed by Sony Group, ensuring users receive a premium quality service that stands apart from traditional taxi operations. It embodies S.RIDE's purpose: “Creating moving experiences that inspire individuals through innovative mobility services.” S.RIDE is committed to transforming the mobility service market by continually enhancing the user experience and offering lifestyle solutions.
