Share Ride and Transit Advocacy Group Launches a New Website Service

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 27, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- AirportShuttles.net ( http://www.airportshuttles.net/ ) is a comprehensive guide and directory covering the transit and airport shuttle industry. The first website of its kind, it is free to use and free to be listed in for qualified companies. Information is categorized in an easy to understand format and offers company/agency details along with direct links to websites.

Maria Santos of Airport Shuttles Network says, "We are much excited to finally launch this website; it took two years to gather so much information. In tough economic times, I think people would pay more attention to transit and rideshare, plus free exposure will help operators. Even if you don't have a website, submit your information. In the case of transit agencies with no budgets for webmasters we can help by publishing system maps and schedules directly on our website. People have different reasons for using transit and rideshare: climate change, dependence on foreign oil, clean air, supporting local transit, saving money, or simply being not able to afford anything else. It is a free public recourse and we encourage people to participate; updating old and adding new information would be of much help. Completed area pages would look somewhat like this: http://www.airportshuttles.net/ca_oakland.shtml, San Francisco Bay Area - East Bay."

Experts from travel, personal transportation, and Internet industries volunteered their time working on this project. The goal was to make it as user friendly and informative as possible.

Mark Goldberg, head of the web team, says, "We try to think of everything, how easy it is to read and share, how fresh the content is. Some things are very important to other webmasters, for example, how many times someone would make a page for school or event with links to an airport's ground transportation pages only to find out that the complex url was changed and now the link is dead. That's why we have very simple urls that never change so webmasters can feel safe linking to our pages."

"Our goal is very simple - provide accurate, unbiased information on transportation options. When it comes to shuttles, people think there is only SuperShuttle, when in reality there is a great number of small independent and family owned companies plus numerous free hotel shuttles, dial a ride services provided by local governments and other options," says Santos.
