Via is a re-engineering public transit company that develops and provides on-demand public mobility solutions for commuters.

Via's mobile app connects passengers who are headed the same way, allowing riders to seamlessly share a premium vehicle.

The platform operates in the United States and in Europe through its joint venture with Mercedes-Benz Vans, ViaVan. Via's technology is deployed worldwide through partner projects with public transportation agencies, private transit operators, taxi fleets, private companies, and universities, integrating with public transit infrastructure to power cutting-edge on-demand mobility.
