Social media has transformed various sectors, including the transport industry.
Social media platforms offer numerous benefits as an integral communication and marketing tool, but they also present certain challenges.
Social media can:
Grow your volunteers through social campaigns
Promote job opportunities
Seek feedback about services
Provide support
Allow and create connections
Promoting service availability
and lots of other positive uses.
However, as we've seen recently, there is another side to the platforms:
The spread of misinformation and fake news
Privacy concerns
Negative publicity (not called for)
