7356 Moovit is adding SpotHero’s parking facilities to its multimodal trip planner in a bid to make commuting easier in the San Francisco Bay Area.


Moovit says users will be able to find parking facilities nearest to their transit station, removing the need to circle for parking.

Yovav Meydad, Moovit chief growth and marketing officer, says: “Commuters can help reduce congestion simply by parking at transit hubs, and riding public transit for the ‘last mile’ of their trip.”

The partnership will help users drive, park and ride, instead of bringing another car into congested city centres, Meydad adds.

Following the launch, Moovit will integrate SpotHero’s network of parking facilities across the US.
