Our mission is
to make life better
without a car.

Our mission is

without a car.

Our mission is to make life better without a car.

For too long, cars have been at the centre of our lives. Today, cities are embracing better ways to get around: by bus, train, bike, and foot. At Transit, we help you make the most of them so you don’t need to own a car.

When there are fewer cars, your city becomes a better place: one that's greener, more vibrant, and more joyful.

Your life is now less rushed, less financially burdened, more active, more fulfilling. 

Mornings

no longer

begin

with

the sound

of engines

revving.

Mornings

revving.

Mornings no longer begin with the sound of engines revving.

Instead you wake up to leaves rustling in the wind, birds singing, kids laughing, bicycles spinning.

Without cars, streets are open to wandering and exploring. 

Friends stop and chat. Neighbours wave hello. Riding your bike doesn’t make you feel anxious. Parents don’t worry when their kids cross the street. Friends are no longer killed in car crashes.

Going places is now peaceful and fun, with bus lanes and bike paths to zip you around. Walking around the city is more pleasant. Without having to think about parking or traffic, you can stop anywhere you want.

You never wait more than a few minutes for the next bus or train.

For those few essential drives, a shared vehicle is always nearby. And look at you: with all that biking and walking under your belt, you’re feeling better than ever!

Around the world,
cities are getting rid
of cars.

Around the world, cities are getting rid of cars.

Clogged highways are being torn down to make way for tree-lined sidewalks, bike paths, and dedicated bus lanes. Streets are shedding their parking spots in favour of places to sit and eat. Gas stations are being repurposed into parks and plazas. Parking lots are getting replaced by shops and housing. 

Decade by decade, block by block, our grand avenues were turned into deadly car conveyor belts. Our bustling public spaces were repurposed for vehicle storage.

Our cities and our lives can be so much more, if we just think differently about how we get around.

We're here to
show the way.

HOW WE DO IT

HOW WE
DO IT

We build the cities
we want to live in

01

Cities aren’t just the most sustainable form of human settlement. They’re humanity’s greatest invention. They’re also where we call home, with inspiration at every street corner.

We know they’re far from perfect — and utterly besieged by cars — but we’re fiercely passionate about making them better places to live, raise kids, and grow old.

We never forget that
je ne sais quoi

02

Cities are the ultimate work in progress. They’re rich tapestries that only get more varied and wonderful as the years go on. We feel the same way about Transit.

Sure, we’re not sculpting citadels out of stone blocks, but we always take the extra effort to make sure our work uplifts and inspires you. Whether it’s shaving a few milliseconds off our trip planning algorithm, weighing every word in a piece of writing, or taking the time to get an in-app animation just right.

We have
nothing to hide

03

We want teammates to feel connected to each other, and to be motivated towards a shared goal. Everyone is kept in the loop about the directions our work takes, and not just as a courtesy.

We're proactive in sharing the state of our finances and our plans for the future of Transit. When asked hard questions, we give straight and honest answers. Always. It’s a duty we owe to one another, and it motivates us to do our best work.

We have lives
outside Transit

04

Families, friends, projects, hobbies. Trips and adventures. Marriages, funerals, breakups, illnesses. It's a given: your personal life should always come first.

It’s why we have a four-day workweek, and why we never count hours, track vacation, record sick days, or expect you to check Slack on your evenings and weekends. We let you take vacation when you want to, and do everything we can to fit into your life, not the other way around.

We can't do this
alone

05

At Transit, it all starts with our app. But while tech platforms can be powerful agents for change, they’re just one piece of the puzzle. We’re partnered with hundreds of organizations: from transit agencies, to activist groups, to research labs, to cities themselves.

By working together, we can make car-free transportation the default way of getting around and transform our cities for the better. Forget tunnels and flying cars. We don't need to reinvent the wheel — we just need to make it run more smoothly.

Transit isn’t just our name. It’s our way of life. We’re bus and train people, but we’re also pedestrians and cyclists of all stripes.

We know that sustainable transportation is the bedrock of a liveable city. We make it easy to find, and a joy to take.
