How Spare helps

One app for every rider, every trip

Riders don’t think in transit silos — but most apps do. Spare One unifies your fixed-route, paratransit, and microtransit services in a single platform. No transfers between systems. No switching apps mid-trip.
  • Riders plan, book, and pay for multimodal trips—bus, train, or microtransit—in one app.
  • Fare collection is simplified through Spare Wallet, Tickets, and integrations like Masabi and Token Transit.
  • Accessibility and compliance are prioritized, meeting WCAG 2.2 AA standards to ensure inclusive mobility.
