What Via Transportation does

Provides software that public transit agencies use to run on-demand shared shuttle and paratransit services.

Earns software fees from transit agencies and cities, usually under multi-year public contracts. It added planning tools by buying Remix in 2021 and the Citymapper app in 2023, which broadened it beyond on-demand shuttles.
