After puzzling netizens in Kuala Lumpur with his creative and witty responses, the face and voice behind Dali was revealed today. The #FindDali campaign powered by SOCAR comes to fruition with Dali to become the city’s first smart transportation aide giving commuters access to a bank of mobility related information from car loans, cheapest spots to park to petrol prices and spontaneous driving spots for cheap eats. With Dali by your side, moving around the city and exploring your new favourite lunchtime spots, be it with public transport, car sharing, e-hailing or even your own car, has never been easier.

Powered by car-sharing startup SOCAR and its community, Dali is set to become the city’s on call transportation aide providing commuters and multiflexers with resources to make well informed and smarter mobility choices. Backed by an AI (artificial intelligence) engine and a multiflex community that cares about the future of mobility, the #FindDali interactive platform will provide answers to your daily transport woes.

Along with a strong technology front, the platform is also designed in a manner that encourages multiflexers to kick off their own threads and to use everyday travel experiences to guide other commuters facing similar situations.

The end goal for Dali is to cater to the community at large, assimilating commonly asked questions and coming up with out of the box solutions lending a different perspective to common frustrations and issues faced by urbanites.  For example, many Malaysians have come to accept the fact that traffic will be worse on a Friday especially during lunch-time and after-work. However, a deeper look will show that there are many ways and policies that can be adopted to reduce the frustrations that all travellers face on a Friday. Policies such as remote working days on Fridays or more effective enforcement on double parking and heightened fines could all lead to roads clearing up. We believe that Dalis out there would not be afraid to propose and execute such solutions and we all hope to see a better Kuala Lumpur because of this.

The #FindDali platform is open to public from September 7, 2018 and is not restricted to only SOCAR members. To use the platform, members can go to www.finddali.my and start asking Dali questions.

Btw, we tried but we don’t think you can get an immediate answer from Dali.
