O que MagicBus faz

Our mission is to take cars off the road by making it safe and easy to vanpool in the post Covid world. A vanpool is a group of people who commute together, usually in a shared van. It’s an excellent, cost effective way to commute, used by hundreds of thousands of Americans, but the industry is largely offline. It’s difficult to find, join, and start vanpools. We build software that fixes this, making vanpooling simple and flexible. We believe that in a post Covid world, it will be more important than ever to rethink shared transportation and make it more adaptive. Our customers are organizations like transit agencies and employers who have existing vanpool fleets. We provide these customers with our SaaS platform that manages their vanpool programs. We capture real time information about open seats, then make those seats available to book through our app. We also make it easy for people to crowdsource and start new vanpools.

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We build a SaaS platform that helps transit agencies and employers manage vanpool programs. Our product captures real-time data on open seats in vans and makes them bookable through our app. It also enables people to easily find, join, or start vanpools, which are shared group commutes in vans that reduce cars on the road.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in Los Angeles, CA and plan to keep the company based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We are based in LA because that's where our team lives and where there's a large potential market for better vanpool solutions. Staying local helps us stay close to customers and understand their needs.
