What Remix does

Remix is a cloud-based transit planning and scheduling SaaS platform that enables transit agencies, city governments, and mobility operators to design, visualize, and operationalize multi-modal public transit networks. The platform unifies historically siloed workflows — network planning, on-demand service design, scheduling (blocking, runcutting, rostering), and streets infrastructure design — into a single collaborative system with real-time visualization of service and financial trade-offs, automated equity and accessibility analysis, GTFS feed management, and rider notifications. Core technical components include proprietary scheduling algorithms, a Runtime Engine that surfaces data-driven recommendations during operations, multi-user collaborative editing, and ridership predictions powered by Citymapper data drawn from Via's broader transit ecosystem.

The company sells primarily to government transit authorities (over 450 customers globally, including NYC MTA, Transport for London, DART, WMATA, MBTA, CapMetro, and Ireland's NTA), with secondary targets in school districts, universities, corporations, and healthcare providers. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales with a "Request a Demo" model and quote-based annual subscriptions; the platform is accessible through regional portals covering the United States, Europe, Australia/New Zealand, and Rest of World. Documented customer outcomes include 8x faster bus-to-rail planning (MBTA), 20% fewer driver shifts required (North Central RTD), a 10% increase in fixed-route ridership after redesign (CapMetro), and a 75% reduction in planning and scheduling time (Mountain Line).

Remix was founded in 2014, is headquartered in San Francisco with 51-100 employees, and has been a wholly-owned subsidiary of Via Transportation, Inc. since its 2019 acquisition. As part of Via's broader transit technology portfolio — which includes microtransit, paratransit, Citymapper, and corporate shuttles — Remix serves as the planning and scheduling layer, with distribution, marketing infrastructure, and enterprise relationships increasingly shared across the parent organization.

Core offering

Remix is a SaaS transit and mobility planning platform used by transit agencies, cities, schools, and universities to design transit networks, plan on-demand transit services, configure street layouts, and build driver schedules. Its tools combine mapping, GTFS data, and scheduling algorithms with collaborative multi-user editing so that planning teams can model, visualize, and operationalize service changes.

Product overview

Remix by Via is a unified transit planning and scheduling platform consisting of interconnected modules: Remix Planning (for network design and day-to-day service management), Remix On-demand Planning (for complementary on-demand services), Remix Scheduling (for blocking, runcutting, and rostering via algorithms), and Remix Streets (for data-driven street design). The platform is designed for transit agencies, cities, transit operators, and related organizations to collaboratively visualize, plan, and manage multi-modal transit systems with real-time data insights and rider notification capabilities.

Partnerships

Two partnerships are on record, tiered core.

• WMATA (Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority)coreTechnology or Integration · 1 January 2020WMATA partnered with Via and its subsidiary Remix since 2020 to use data analytics to improve transit service, measuring service impacts and guiding decisions on where to expand bus and rail service. Remix helped WMATA demonstrate real-world improvements in travel times and service coverage to policymakers, including the 2022 launch of the Silver Line extension to Washington Dulles International Airport.
• Via Transportation (Parent Company)coreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 1 January 2019Via acquired Remix, making it a subsidiary. Remix is now branded as 'Remix by Via' and operates as the planning and scheduling component of Via's broader transit technology suite, which also includes microtransit, paratransit, Citymapper, and corporate shuttles.

Direct peers

• Optibus: Optibus is a cloud-based AI platform for public transit planning, scheduling, and operations, serving transit agencies globally. It directly competes with Remix's Planning and Scheduling modules and shares the same SaaS, algorithm-driven approach to blocking, runcutting, and rostering.
• Trapeze (Modaxo): Trapeze, part of Modaxo/Volaris, is a long-established provider of fixed-route planning and scheduling software (e.g., HASTUS-adjacent products) used by transit authorities. It is a direct competitor in the transit scheduling and operations workflow where Remix competes.
• GIRO (Hastus): GIRO's Hastus is a widely deployed transit scheduling and operations optimization suite used by many of the same large transit agencies as Remix. It directly competes in blocking, runcutting, and rostering workflows that are central to Remix Scheduling.

Emerging players

• Swiftly: Swiftly is a transit data and operations platform providing real-time passenger information, run-time analysis, and service planning insights for transit agencies. It overlaps with Remix's data-driven planning and Runtime Engine capabilities, particularly around real-time operational analytics.
• Spare: Spare provides a microtransit and paratransit platform for transit agencies, complementing fixed-route service. It overlaps with Remix's On-demand Planning module and competes for budget within the same transit authority customers as Remix.
• UrbanThings: UrbanThings (part of Modaxo) offers transit data, ticketing, and passenger information platforms. While more focused on rider-facing apps, it intersects with Remix on GTFS feed management and real-time transit data infrastructure for the same agencies.

Broad incumbents

• Esri (ArcGIS): Esri's ArcGIS platform is broadly used by transit agencies and city governments for spatial analysis, mapping, and infrastructure planning. While not a direct transit planning competitor, it competes for the GIS-driven workflows embedded in Remix Streets and broader municipal planning budgets.
• PTV Group: PTV Group provides transportation planning, traffic simulation, and public transit modeling software used by cities and consultancies. It overlaps with Remix in network and street design workflows for transit planners, especially in European markets.
• Cubic Transportation Systems: Cubic is a large incumbent supplier of transit fare collection, real-time passenger information, and transportation management systems to major transit agencies. It is a broad incumbent whose urban mobility portfolio overlaps with multiple Remix modules within the same customer base.

Others

• Via Transportation: Via is Remix's parent company and broader transit technology provider, offering microtransit, paratransit, corporate shuttles, and Citymapper. As the parent, it is the platform through which Remix is distributed and bundled, not a competing peer but the structural counterpart.
