Leading player in its field

Over the years, the company pivoted to providing software solutions to urban transport authorities to streamline public transport systems and connect passengers with pick up points and serve employment, health and education services.

Via’s technology allows authorities to replace obsolete systems with dynamic platforms based on data and demand, which cuts operating costs, improves the passengers journey experience and increases the number of public transport users.

The company currently works in hundreds of cities in 30 countries and is considered one of the leading players in the field of smart transport.
