What We’re Building at Spare ️
Spare is on a mission to accelerate the shift towards efficient and autonomous mobility by enabling anyone to plan, launch, scale, and analyze a smart transport network in seconds. We’re cultivating a net-positive impact in cities by deploying the technology for the next generation of public transport: on-demand Microtransit. Whether that’s with the largest on demand transport service integrated into a multi-modal network in North America, being the first last-mile/first-mile on-demand service in Japan, or the first on-demand service above the Arctic Circle in Norway, our platform is powering shared modes of transport globally.
