Mission

Unfortunately, in many cities, the quality of life is decreasing faster than ever, due to environmental stressors like congested traffic and pollution. According to the WHO, each year approximately 7 million people die prematurely due to pollution.

Our mission is to make mobility services more cost-effective, practical and more reliable, than owning private car. Through our work, we want to significantly decrease the number of privately owned cars on the road, which could in turn improve health outcomes and life quality, for future generations.
