About us
For the journeys that matter most
Some journeys are about more than getting there. Road XS gives transport operators the technology to run efficient, secure and dependable services, so every passenger gets the personal care they need, sometimes in their darkest hour.
Built for the services that hold people together
Ten years building software for community, patient and volunteer transport, from a team in the UK and Australia.
Our story
It started with a phone call
“Are you sitting down?”
my Dad asked
What he told me next was the worst news imaginable: that he had been diagnosed with a rare, aggressive cancer in his skull, and the team of doctors treating him were not yet sure what to do.
Over the months that followed, he came to rely on community transport to reach his treatments, appointment after appointment, during the most frightening period of his life.
I saw firsthand how these services quietly operate, often run by volunteers and funded on a shoestring, yet holding people and families together when they need support most.
And I also saw how easily they could disappear.
For my Dad, those journeys meant access to the care he needed and almost twelve more years with the people who loved him.
That is why I started Road XS, so transport services can keep running sustainably for the thousands of families facing journeys just like Dad’s every single day.
