Our mission is to unlock the potential of mobility for everyone.
Our vision for the future of transportation
Multi-modal Mobility
Access to on-demand mobility, public transportation, and micro-mobility will be available inside a single app that will provide transparency in how best to move.
Technology innovation enables profitable transportation
The technology surrounding mobility will continue to improve, which will further accelerate the growth of efficient and profitable transportation.
Public/Private Cooperation
Riders benefit when public and private transportation service providers can co-exist and thrive.
Widespread use of on-demand shared transportation
As shared on-demand transit becomes more cost effective, more people will give up their personal vehicles in favor of the on-demand option.
