GuruWalk’s response to the emergency

Based in Valencia, GuruWalk responded immediately to the issues posed by DANA, developing a technological solution for resident mobility in record time. Juan Castillo, CEO of the company, emphasizes that Several GuruWalk employees were also affected, which reinforced its commitment to providing effective and sustainable solutions for the city. “We encourage people to use the platform during these difficult times, as many residents do not have cars and public transportation does not work,” Castillo said.

How does Anem!

The Anem! platform, “let’s go” in Valencian, facilitates contact between drivers with available seats and people who need to travel. Users can access a map to view travel supply and demand, and coordinate travel via mobile phone or WhatsApp. Although the platform is free to use, GuruWalk suggests users not affected by flooding consider sharing travel costs as a gesture of support.

During its first 20 hours of operation, Anem! has recorded more than 650 trips and has already 1,200 users interested in the service. The platform is designed to be very simple to use, with the aim of improving the user experience according to their needs, especially in these delicate moments.

The tool will be accessible to any user who wishes to use it, with the aim of reducing environmental impact and promoting vehicle sharing in the city.
