Provision of vehicles of any specification, make
or model that meet the requirements of clients is a specialty of
TASECO. The vehicles range from luxury Inter-city coaches, to buses
for urban stage work and school student transportation. The seating
capacity of our coaches and buses varies from 15 to 55 and all the
vehicles are fully air-conditioned.
TASECO provides services throughout the Kingdom and
beyond, and is not restricted to operations within the Eastern,
Central or Western Provinces of Saudi Arabia.
Our Contracts Department will enter into discussions
and negotiations for the provision of services for any period of
time whether they be one-off services, daily, weekly or monthly.
Contract durations can be for any length of time, from one day to
five years, depending on our clients needs.
Although the Company has standard contract terms there
is sufficient flexibility to allow for variations to suit our clients
requirements, for their specific type of service.
The services provided by the Company are comprehensive.
They include highly skilled and fully trained drivers and the provision
of extremely well maintained vehicles, so that whatever the eventuality
the client is assured of a quality service. These services are available
24 hours a day, seven days a week throughout the year and the companys
response to any call is instantaneous. Delays are minimized by utilizing
the Companys strategically located garages throughout the
Kingdom.
The Companys bus and coach fleet numbers 900
which are maintained in the Companys ten workshops located
in the Eastern, Central and Western Provinces. TASECOs vehicle
maintenance standards have been built around its long established
Preventive Maintenance Programmes which have produced for the Company
an enviable reputation for reliability and safety. The Companys
workshops are managed by personnel holding mechanical engineering
degrees and its technicians are carefully selected and trained by
both the individual vehicle manufacturers, as well as to TASECOs
own stringent standards.
The Company places safety at the top of its list of
priorities and takes particular pride in its excellent safety record
achieved and maintained right from its inception. A separate Safety
Department monitors the performance of the Companys vehicles
to ensure that safety systems are being adhered to. The monitoring
of services, schedules and operations and the seeking of improved
safety measures and practices is a daily on-going exercise.
The Company understands that the role played by its
drivers is vital in ensuring its clients complete satisfaction.
Accordingly, the Company is highly selective and recruits only a
small percentage of those who apply for driving positions. Only
experienced bus drivers are engaged and all new driver recruits
are given an intense three month period of training in the Companys
training school. The driver training program includes theoretical
and practical Instruction, encompassing formal lectures, video presentations,
supervised driving sessions, as well as general safety aspects.
Recruits are continually monitored and however much experience they
may have, are not passed out from the school until the Training
Supervisor is completely satisfied that they are capable of maintaining
TASECOS high standards. The driver training programme was
updated in 1995 and was redesigned to ensure that the standards
equal or exceed those of the Passenger Carrying Vehicles Guidelines
in the UK.
TASECO Is one of the leading passenger transport companies
in the Kingdom operating over 50 million kilometers per year. |
