From feeding the poor to helping the frontliners in combating the deadly disease, Careem has always been ahead of others. Doing a remarkable job in such a crisis, the ride-hailing service has even partnered with the Government of Punjab (GoP). Particularly, the initiative was to create awareness and stop citizens from stepping outside and opt for delivery options.
Moreover, Careem also promoted the provincial government’s telemedicine helpline to provide medical-related assistance. There’s no deniability that Careem has proved itself as an exceptional addition to the public transport. Since its operations in Pakistan, the ride-hailing service has made a great impact by giving back to the local community when needed.
