Token Transit
Complete fare payment for public transportation
We built a mobile ticketing app that lets riders buy and use transit fare digitally. Our platform handles payments and integrates with city transit systems, letting riders in over 200 cities across the US and Canada pay fares on their phones and plan trips through major apps like Google Maps and Transit.
We live in San Francisco, CA, and plan to keep the company based here after YC.
San Francisco is where we all live and work, plus it's the best place to connect with investors and partners in tech and government sectors who can help us grow our product for public transportation.
