About the Mobile Team

The Mobile Team works on improving and deploying new features for our Rider and Driver apps. The Rider app is used by customers who want to book a on-demand mobility ride using our platform. We "white label" our rider apps to brand them individual for each of our transit agency customers. Our Driver app is used by transit drivers as they perform on-demand trips, picking up and dropping off riders. The Mobile Team focuses on providing the best experience for both Riders and Drivers with a heavy focus on accessibility and ease of use.
