Transit

Who We Are

Transit is more than just a navigation app; it's a mission to revolutionize urban mobility and create car-free cities that prioritize people over traffic. Founded by a team of passionate urbanists based in Montreal, Canada, we've grown into a trusted platform serving millions of users across North America and beyond.

Our vision is simple yet transformative: make public transit so easy and convenient that cars become the second choice. Every feature we build, every partnership we forge, and every line of code we write serves this purpose. We're not just building technology—we're reshaping how people experience and interact with their cities.

What We Do

We deliver real-time transit data, user-friendly route planning, and seamless integration with micromobility options like bikes and scooters. Our app is a trusted companion for millions of daily commuters, ensuring smooth journeys with live updates, accurate schedules, and intuitive design that makes navigating complex transit systems effortless.

Transit aggregates data from hundreds of transit agencies, combining official feeds with crowdsourced information to provide the most accurate, up-to-the-minute transit information available. We've pioneered features like GO scores (which predict how quickly you can reach your destination), real-time vehicle tracking, and integrated payment options in select cities.

By working closely with transit agencies and tapping into open data resources, Transit ensures reliability and convenience at every step of your journey. Whether you're a daily commuter or exploring a new city, our app adapts to your needs and helps you get where you're going efficiently and sustainably.

Working at Transit

At Transit, a happy team is the foundation of great work. Our culture is rooted in trust, transparency, and genuine collaboration. We believe that to build products that improve people's lives, we need to live good lives ourselves—which is why we operate with a four-day workweek, allowing employees to truly recharge and pursue personal passions.

Based in Montreal's vibrant Mile End neighborhood, our team enjoys a hybrid working model with access to a buzzing office environment where urbanism meets innovation. Our workspace reflects our values: walkable, bike-friendly, and connected to excellent public transit. It's a place where ideas flow freely, where diverse perspectives are celebrated, and where the boundary between "urban planning enthusiast" and "day job" happily blurs.

We're a team of designers, developers, data scientists, urban planners, and transit enthusiasts who are genuinely passionate about cities and how people move through them. Whether you're debating the merits of bus rapid transit over lunch or collaborating on the next app feature, you'll find a community that shares your enthusiasm for sustainable urban mobility.
