What they do

Problem

Public transit riders lack timely, easy-to-access information about arrivals and service disruptions, making city travel inefficient and uncertain.

Solution

Embark provides a mobile app that delivers real-time bus/train arrival times and push notifications for delays across transit systems.

Who it's for

Urban public transit riders who use mass transit systems in supported cities.
