1,500 free rides for partygoers

1,500 free rides for partygoers

IN a groundbreaking collaboration, Red Stripe and Lupine Technologies have joined forces to spearhead a new era of safety and technological innovation in Jamaica.

This collaboration will provide 1,500 free rides to and from Red Stripe hosted and sponsored events, offering a safe transportation option for patrons using the Cerbr ride-share app.

This two-year partnership, which was announced at the recently concluded ‘Responsibility Now Townhall – Beyond the tag line — Unpacking Responsible Consumption’, is an extension of Red Stripe’s esteemed ‘Get Home Responsibly’ campaign.

It is set to redefine safety measures by incorporating Lupine Technologies’ cutting-edge solutions.

According to Red Stripe, in the complex tapestry of Jamaica’s current crime situation, the intertwined values of safety, security, responsible consumption, and the unequivocal stance against drinking and driving form the foundation of a collective commitment to a safer and more resilient society.

In a release on Thursday the company said recognising the pressing need to address safety concerns, this multifaceted approach not only responds to the challenges at hand but actively shapes a future where individuals can thrive without compromising their well-being.

The collaboration between Red Stripe and Lupine Technologies is expected to become a beacon within this broader narrative. It embodies the fusion of technological innovation with a societal pledge to prioritise safety.

Red Strip added that the Lupine Technologies’ contribution, integrated into the Get Home Responsibly campaign, introduces an additional layer of sophistication to the initiatives aimed at ensuring the well-being of the Jamaican community.

“This partnership with Lupine Technologies marks a pivotal moment in our ongoing commitment to safety. By integrating their cutting-edge solutions into our Get Home Responsibly campaign, we are not only embracing innovation but fortifying our efforts to create a safer Jamaica for everyone,” said Dianne Ashton-Smith, head of corporate affairs at Red Stripe,

Ashton-Smith underscored that Red Stripe, a stalwart in the beverage industry, champions the cause of ensuring that enjoyment does not come at the expense of safety. The message of never drinking and driving resonates as a powerful testament to the brand’s commitment to social responsibility. It underscores the understanding that safety is not confined to physical spaces but extends to every action and decision made, even in moments of leisure.

“Collaborating with Red Stripe in the realm of safety and technological innovation is a momentous step. Our shared vision for a secure and technologically advanced Jamaica propels us to harness the power of innovation to address societal challenges. Together, we aim to set new benchmarks for safety and contribute to the overall well-being of the community,” said Reynold James, CEO of Lupine Technologies.

Cerbr is a micro-transit, ride-hail application developed by Lupine Technologies Limited and which offers a safe and reliable transportation experience, allowing customers to book rides from multiple registered hackney carriage companies through a single app.

To ensure safety and security, every ride is equipped with a proprietary virtual panic button provided by Hawkeye, a trusted security service. In the event of an emergency, riders can send out a distress signal, and Hawkeye’s team will respond promptly.

Cerbr is zero-rated, meaning no active data plan is required to access the app, further enhancing accessibility and ensuring that safety is at the forefront of every journey.

“This integration of Cerbr into the collaborative efforts of Red Stripe and Lupine Technologies exemplifies the commitment to providing a comprehensive and secure experience for individuals across Jamaica.

“The collective heartbeat of Jamaica echoes a resounding message: safety is a shared responsibility, and by embracing it in all its facets, we pave the way for a safer and more vibrant future.

“The synergy between safety, security, responsible consumption, and the integration of Lupine Technologies’ advanced solutions creates a holistic approach to societal well-being. It forms a narrative of empowerment, where individuals are not only protected by cutting-edge technology but also guided by a shared commitment to responsible living,” added Ashton-Smith.
