Our bustling public spaces were repurposed for vehicle storage.
Our cities and lives can be so much more if we just think differently about how we get around: vision.transitapp.com

To its left is a hand giving a thumbs up and another hand giving the OK sign, and to its right is a cheekily-posed recumbent man in a suit with a Transit logo head holding his hand out demonstratively.
Cities are better with fewer cars.

Our CEO Sam and COO Jake met up with @BetaKit's Madison at our Montreal HQ to chat about giving riders a voice, the politics of public transit, and helping agencies measure what matters most 👇

We’ve won a spot on @Deloitte’s Technology Fast 50 list! 🚀
We’ve come this far by building the app that we wanted to use, by putting riders first, and by being fiercely optimistic that we can, in fact, live a life beyond cars.
Thanks for being on this ride with us 🫶
