Building an on-demand transit network: choose the right components for your city

No matter the kind of service you run or where, we’ll provide intuitive apps suited for riders. Your app can either launch iconic branding for a new mobility solution or match the look and feel of the service your riders already know and love.

Book rides for your riders, or allow them to book their own. In either case, our technology allows users to request a ride now or schedule one for later. See our system in action for paratransit riders in Norfolk, US and corporate shuttles in New York, US.

Lack of payment options should never be a barrier to ride. For unbanked riders, we help you accept cash and/or vouchers to ensure your services are accessible to all. And with our platform, riders can use a variety of third-party payment systems, preferred payment processors, or local transportation cards — we can even enable multimodal fare payment, so easy transfers are guaranteed. Check out how we did this in Sydney, Australia and Seattle, US.

On-demand networks should work hand-in-hand with bus and train lines. Our platform can display all transportation options available, including fixed route and dynamic solutions, giving riders a one-stop-shop to compare possible journeys and plan the most convenient trip.

As the world has grown more aware of sustainability concerns, so have your riders. We can help you think through the operations and economics behind launching an entirely new service or converting an existing service to electric vehicles. We even have our own fleet management software specifically built to optimize fleet-wide battery capacity, which we’re using to power the largest microtransit deployment in the world. 

As you probably know all too well, there’s a lot that goes into running a service. But how can you ensure everyone who interacts with your network has a world-class experience with limited staff on hand? That’s where we come in — leveraging our global presence to integrate round-the-clock live and offline support services for riders and/or drivers, depending on your needs.

Our free translations have been tested by both riders and drivers across the world. We’ll translate our website and apps into any language, in addition to providing alternate-language phone booking, upon request.

Easily manage your driver lifecycle, whether operating by shift or by ride, from first reach-out to day-to-day operations. Our expert team can advise on supply planning and help you scale up to include a variety of sophisticated driver incentives.

We understand that prices play a role in everything from supply planning to rider satisfaction. We’ll help you vary fares based on time of day, day of the week, distance, location, and overall market dynamics, both current and predicted. And, look, we love a good discount as much as the next person — you’ll be able to target yours for certain rider groups (such as seniors, medical workers, and students) and distinct time periods or events (i.e. capturing the crowds leaving downtown on a Friday night).

Let’s make your service a part of the future of transportation. Our platform can integrate with autonomous vehicle technology and easily manage multiple autonomous vehicle providers and services. Check out how we’ve made it work in Irvine, US and New South Wales, Australia.

Get the whole community involved in your service through a variety of sponsorship and advertising techniques that can serve as additional revenue sources.
