About


Public transportation is linked to playing a critical role in economic growth in cities all over the world, yet in Puerto Rico, it is highly limited in availability and reliability.

We aim to service local citizens and tourists alike, combining private and public sector transportation providers to connect all travel alternatives seamlessly.

The user opens an app, enters where they want to go and can easily access the most cost-effective transportation alternative for his needs.

We partner with governments to provide increased revenue collection through modern mechanisms while increasing user adoption and improving lives of citizens who are dependent on reliable transportation.

In Puerto Rico, fare collections from Audited Financial Statement for FY2014 of AMA and Tren Urbano (TU) total $16.8M generated from just over over 18M trips by habitual and occasional passengers.

The estimated size of our target market in Puerto Rico consists of the daily habitual (40%) and occasional users who rely on public transportation in San Juan and Caguas, as well as city residents who currently do not use the service because of the current challenges in reliability and ease of use. We also aim to target the 10M tourists who visit Puerto Rico every year, with an initial focus on the 1M who arrive to the Old City.
