Spare

On-demand transit software for cities and operators

Spare makes software for on-demand public transportation. Rather than running paratransit and microtransit as separate programmes, a transit provider can use the Spare platform to offer one demand-responsive service that fits each trip to the rider who needs it. Cities also use it to plan and optimise their wider networks so that every mode works together as a system. Spare partners with transportation providers internationally, and its work rests on the conviction that mobility should be safe, affordable, scalable and, in time, autonomous. Its headquarters are in Vancouver, British Columbia.
