We turn a crisis into an opportunity for transit agencies
Kristoffer, Spare's CEO, explains how Spare is helping cities around the world provide transit through the COVID-19 crisis.
Doing what we do best: moving people from A to B in a safe and efficient way.
Our goal is to help transit agencies rapidly respond to a fast-changing environment in a way that maximizes the safety of their riders, drivers, and wider communities. In order to do this we have built a rapid response plan that enables a microtransit launch within 48 hours, and a 5 part way to maximize the safety of your transit riders.
Transport essential personnel
Shift away from moving lots of people to selectively moving the right people, by scaling down mass transit and scaling up microtransit.
Launch pandemic-ready transit
Decentralize the risk of transit and health systems collapsing due to worker absenteeism, because microtransit is more resilient to outages than fixed routes.
Segment by risk profile and need
Reduce the social mixing that exacerbates the spread of the virus and prioritize critical personnel.
Rapidly screen and test riders
Use microtransit to rapidly screen and test riders, and to promote good hygiene and responsible behaviour through educational ‘nudging’.
Built-in contact tracing
Use in-app technology to implement contact tracing, to better understand the spread of the virus and intervene appropriately when infections are detected.

Launch in a day
Spare has built an emergency rapid-response framework that enables your agency to launch a targeted microtransit program in under 48 hours.
Prepare for the road ahead
We've seen that it will take a while for transit ridership to recover. Spare will help you provide a flexible transit option until things are back to normal.
We're already doing it
As of now, Spare has launched 3 systems around the world doing exactly this. To learn more about these systems, watch our micro-webinar.
