THUNDER BAY – A local ride-share application company has secured a dedicated drop-off spot at Thunder Bay International Airport.
Airport officials on Friday announced they’ve formed a partnership with URIDE, founded by Cody Ruberto.
“The partnership with the airport allows URIDE to help provide other transportation options to passengers, as well as the potential to save substantially compared to parking options. Customers can book now, or reserve a ride in advance. This partnership marks an important step into the future for URIDE, the airport, and transportation in Thunder Bay,” Ruberto said in a release.
The designated spot is located outside the air terminal building and passengers when booking can include their flight number to ensure a timely pick-up or drop-off.
“The Airport Authority is keen to work with new companies to expand the transportation options available to air travelers to and from the airport,” said TBIA president and CEO Ed Schmidtke.
