Overview
Spare is an AI-native operations platform that helps government and transit agencies deliver more reliable, efficient, and community-focused transit services. It unifies demand response, fixed route, and asset management with AI built in.
History
In 2015, three university students in Vancouver noticed that buses would roll past stops overcrowded while cars with empty seats drove by. Kristoffer Vik Hansen, Josh Andrews, and Alexey Indeev set out to fix that coordination problem. Their first real test came at a hackathon organized by Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART), where they built a demand-responsive transit solution that won and went live.
