A new mobile app called 7867 RideScout provides Transit as a Service (TaaS) by consolidating multiple public, private and social transit options in a single platform.

Fresh off RideScout’s acquisition by car2go, the company is looking to expand upon its 330 ride provider feeds and 70 locations in North America.
