About Spare
Spare's mission is empowering everyone to unlock the potential of mobility.
Spare is the future of shared transportation. We’re revolutionizing how the busy mom from Dallas, the retired teacher from Oslo or the aspiring entrepreneur from Tokyo experiences transportation, by partnering with transportation providers around the world to enable worry-free, efficient, flexible, and automated on-demand solutions.

We also help cities easily optimize their transit network so that the entire transportation ecosystem works better together.
