11 ) Why is there a one-way/round trip Flexi Pass for 20 working days and not a pass for a full month?

    We offer a Flexi Pass for 20 working days that does not change every month. If we don't do this, months with fewer working days (like Feb, Dec), would see rides get more expensive, and vice versa. Cityflo is supposed to be stress-free and we don't want to burden you with calculations every month.

12 ) Can I reschedule my ride to another date?

    Yes you can reschedule your ride to any other date in your subscription. Simply go to "Manage Ride" section and select "Reschedule to another day" and your ride will be rescheduled to the next working day after the end date of your subscription. Further, in case you've chosen only select days of the week, the ride would be rescheduled to the next such selected day in the calendar.

    The date change feature in Flexi Pass is in the process of being rolled out and is expected to be available within a few weeks.
