Via microtransit makes fixed route stronger.
For riders, connecting microtransit and fixed route means freedom and ease: they use a single app to navigate both modes and plan intermodal trips.
For agencies, it means better coverage and cost efficiency. High-frequency fixed routes serve busy corridors. Microtransit fills in the gaps and serves first-last mile trips. And riders take the most efficient mode, every time.
Unite your network.
Via’s technology not only delivers the most efficient and reliable microtransit services — it’s the glue that links demand response and fixed route. A single app helps riders discover and navigate your whole network, while distributing ridership to the most efficient possible mode.
Read on to learn about the building blocks that make truly integrated transit possible.
Our experts combine decades of planning and operating experience with our proprietary Remix planning software to launch microtransit that will not only succeed, but will make your fixed routes stronger.

Mode Preference saves agencies real money. When a rider requests a trip that’s better served by a convenient bus or train journey, we only show fixed-route options. Riders take the most efficient mode, and microtransit capacity is reserved for trips that cannot be served by fixed routes.

When microtransit works as an extension of fixed-route services, more riders can travel farther, more easily. For your agency, that means growing ridership and improved cost-efficiency.

“There’s a lot of trepidation when you change some things in your transit system, move some cheese, and ask yourself, ‘Is this going to work?’ And I’ll tell you, several months into this, this could not be going better.”
It doesn't stop there.
