Exceeding 1 million trips per year is one of the key milestones towards JAY delivering cash flow positive for FY24.

The Northern Hemisphere summer surge in demand and an ongoing structural shift for travellers to book their rides online and avoid a taxi rank has helped boost customers on JAY’s platform.

“With this momentum we have passed the next milestone in our strategy to become a much larger and cash flow positive company,” he says.
“July is the first month we have ever exceeded an annualised run rate of 1 million+ passenger trips booked.
“This scale is an important driver in achieving our objective of becoming cash flow positive for FY24.”
Bishop says the company is also moving forward on delivering its other key objective of rebuilding net revenue to pre-pandemic levels of $10 per trip.
“We look forward to continuing our growth to create a larger, cash flow positive, Jayride.”

In its Q4 FY23 results JAY announced passenger trips grew to a record-breaking 199,100, representing a 46% increase on pcp.
Revenues soared by 42% to a total of $1.55 million, with the strong performance attributed, in large part, to the Northern Hemisphere summer peak season.

Moreover, during the same quarter, the net revenue per trip showed a promising upswing, rising to $7.77 from $7.57 in the previous quarter.
