"This year’s Big Game 🏈 was a record-breaking ridership day for us, and the Transit team were great partners before, during, and after the event. Our riders already enjoy using the Transit app, so it was a great channel for communicating event services ahead of time, then we integrated multi-agency ticketing to make things that little bit smoother for riders on game day.
We’re looking forward to world record-ridership for the next event!"

– Dino Guevarra, VTA - Santa Clara Valley Transit Manager, Market Development

Playing host? We’re here to back you up

8 million riders use Transit every month to navigate public transit. We’re working with agencies to make sure riders make it to their event with zero drama, whether they’re home or away.

MVP transit data

We’ll transform your GTFS into actionable information for riders, starting with a full data review, ingesting any temporary location name changes, and special event branding for individual routes in the app.

Plus: we can get the word out to new and regular riders alike with in-app banners, and give your website visitors some love with an online trip planner link that automatically directs them to the event venue.

Heavy duty data assists

On-the-day specialized technical assistance and priority rider and agency support keeps data and fans flowing during the event.
