How Via Works

Via’s on-demand transit service offers travel times similar to a taxi at a fraction of the cost.

Via lets you book your ride on your phone, get picked up on your corner by a professionally chauffeured vehicle, share your ride with others going the same way, and save cash as well as reduce your carbon footprint.

Via does pick up other riders along the way, but their algorithms make ridesharing with other members seamless and nearly as fast as a taxi.

How To Request a Via Ride:

You just open your app when you’re ready to ride, and use the map or address bar to select your pickup and dropoff locations.

Then simply walk to the pickup location indicated in the app (usually the nearest corner) to meet up with your Via-cle when it arrives.

Via currently operates on Monday to Friday from 6:30 AM to 9:00 PM, anywhere between 14th and 110th Street:

Via is only available in Manhattan at this time, so you’ll need to use Lyft or Uber if you want to go to one of the outer boroughs.

However, Via is expanding rapidly, so they should be available elsewhere in New York City soon as well as in other cities.

Via Service Features Include:

• A flat fare: $5 plus tax when you pre-pay; $7 plus tax if you pay per ride. To pre-pay, you just purchase $25 or $50 in ride credit in your app.
• As a new member, your first 5 rides are always $5, but you’ll need ride credit to keep paying $5 after your 5th ride.
• An accurate estimate of your wait time (typically under 10 minutes).
• Professional, TLC-licensed drivers.
