How Spare helps

Reduce cost-per-trip

Operate your trips with a closer eye on your bottom line. Use dedicated fleets where it makes sense and dispatch other trips to taxis or TNCs in your region, on-demand to reduce costs.

Curb driver shortages

Fortify your services from the nation-wide challenge of driver shortages by supplementing your dedicated fleets with non-dedicated service providers already available in your community.

Stabilize rider wait times

Give riders more consistent wait times, choice and spontaneity–bringing autonomy back in their lives.

Maximum control and visibility

Get a birds-eye-view of your entire operation regardless if you use dedicated vehicles only, third-party operators, or a combination of both. Spare unifies it all for real-time monitoring and reporting needs.

Supercharge your transit network

Combine thoughtful service design, robust ride matching algorithm, and the power of Open Fleets to create first / last mile programs that not only reduce operating costs, but customers feel empowered to ride.

Let's talk

Citibus has always been serving the underserved.

Our service with Spare has opened up expansive amounts of opportunity for people to get connected to transit that they otherwise would not have access to. Spare has done tremendous work and I believe in it because I have seen what it does for us.

Citibus

A leap forward in user experience for PSTA.

PSTA staff have full visibility into the live status of nearly all of the trips running, which makes it easy to monitor service and address issues as they arise. The app's introduction gives riders more control and independence over their rides by enabling them to easily plan, book, monitor, and pay for trips within the app. It's these kinds of innovations that truly get us excited.

Spare's track record of cost control, reliable product, and its people will do much more than upgrade East Bay Paratransit's operating platform.

Instead, it promises to elevate the commute to medical facilities, schools, workplaces, and social engagements for some of the Bay Area’s most deserving riders.
