What 2GetThere does

2getthere is a Netherlands-based (Utrecht) provider of autonomous road transit systems, operating since 1984 as Frog Systems and rebranded under its current name in conjunction with the 1999 launch of the Rivium system in Rotterdam — the world's first commercial driverless autonomous shuttle. The company designs and deploys fully integrated transit systems comprising Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) 6-person vehicles and Group Rapid Transport (GRT) 22-person vehicles, dedicated elevated guideways, stations, central fleet management software, safety systems, and operational control. It has achieved Level 4 autonomous driving capability (proven at Rivium in 2022) and currently operates deployments in the Netherlands (Rivium, since 1999, with Transdev), Abu Dhabi (Masdar City, since 2010), and Saudi Arabia (AlUla, since 2022, with RATP Dev), with the Bandra Kurla Complex in Mumbai (MMRDA) planned for 2027 — a 390-vehicle, 8.8 km system projected to move over 100,000 passengers daily.

The business model is project-based enterprise B2B: each deployment is a custom infrastructure build combining one-time system licensing with long-term operational support and managed services. Customers are government authorities, transit operators (Transdev, RATP Dev), and large smart-city developers (Masdar City, MMRDA). Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales via feasibility assessments, technical briefings, and site visits, with thought leadership and industry events supporting demand generation. 2getthere has transported over 8.3 million passengers across 3.4 million+ autonomous kilometers with zero safety incidents and 99% system availability.

In summer 2025, 2getthere was acquired by India's Sai Green Mobility, which had won the Mumbai pod taxi bid and selected 2getthere to replace Ultra PRT Ltd as the technology provider. The company has 51–100 employees and operates across Europe, the Middle East, and South Asia, with additional historical activity in North America and Asia Pacific via earlier software deployments.

Core offering

2GetThere designs, manufactures, and deploys autonomous transit systems comprising Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) and Group Rapid Transit (GRT) vehicles, dedicated guideways, stations, and a central fleet management platform. Projects are custom turnkey infrastructure deployments with long-term operational support for government authorities, transit operators, and smart city developers across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.

Product overview

2getthere offers a unified autonomous transit platform comprising Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) and Group Rapid Transport (GRT) systems. PRT utilizes 6-person autonomous pods for point-to-point mobility, while GRT employs larger 22-person vehicles for higher-capacity routes. Both system types operate on dedicated lane infrastructure with elevated guideways, integrated stations with independent entry/exit, real-time fleet management software, and central operations control. The company provides complete turnkey solutions including vehicles, guideways, safety systems, and operational management. Key deployments include Rivium (Rotterdam, since 1999), Masdar City (Abu Dhabi, since 2010), AlUla (Saudi Arabia, since 2022), and the upcoming Bandra Kurla Complex project in Mumbai (planned 2027).

Direct peers

• EasyMile: EasyMile provides driverless electric shuttles (EZ10) deployed in mixed-traffic urban and campus environments globally. Closest road-based autonomous shuttle competitor to 2GetThere, though operating without dedicated guideways and at smaller passenger capacities.
• May Mobility: May Mobility deploys autonomous electric shuttles on fixed urban routes across US cities. Comparable in autonomous urban/campus transit deployment and turnkey service provision; competes primarily in American geographies where 2getthere has limited presence.
• Beep: Beep operates autonomous mobility-as-a-service networks in the US using shuttles from partners (Navya, EasyMile, Local Motors). Comparable in autonomous shuttle service delivery, though Beep is an operator rather than vehicle/guideway OEM like 2getthere.
• Navya (Gaussin): Navya designs and produces the Autonom Shuttle EVO driverless electric shuttles for urban and campus mobility. Direct competitor in autonomous shuttle deployments although without 2GetThere's dedicated-guideway and on-demand point-to-point architecture.
• Ultra PRT (formerly Heathrow POD system operator): Ultra PRT pioneered the Heathrow POD personal rapid transit system in 2011, the most direct dedicated-guideway pod-car competitor to 2GetThere's PRT/GRT platforms. Notably, Ultra PRT was the original Mumbai BKC technology provider before being replaced by 2getthere via tender clause in 2025.

Emerging players

• Karsan (Autonomous e-Atak): Karsan manufactures the Autonomous e-Atak full-size electric autonomous bus used in European and Norwegian deployments. Competes with 2GetThere on first/last-mile feeder transit use cases, at larger (20+ passenger) vehicle sizes and in on-road (rather than guideway) configurations.
• Local Motors (Olli / LM Industries): Local Motors developed the Olli 3D-printed autonomous electric shuttle before operations ceased; comparable in low-capacity autonomous shuttle design philosophy. Re-emergence efforts or successor entities position it as a smaller-scale competitor in the autonomous shuttle category.

Others

• ZF Friedrichshafen (Autonomous Mobility): ZF supplies autonomous driving systems, e-mobility drivelines, and chassis components used by shuttle OEMs. Comparable as an enabling technology supplier adjacent to 2GetThere's stack, and represents the broader automotive-tier competition that could supply autonomous platforms for transit in the future.

Broad incumbents

• Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (Crystal Mover / Automated Transit): Mitsubishi's Crystal Mover rubber-tired automated people movers serve airports (e.g., Dubai, Singapore Changi, Atlanta) and urban lines - the established incumbent in the same automated-guideway transit segment where 2getthere competes for airport and large campus opportunities.
• Alstom (Innovia APM / Innovia Metro): Alstom's Innovia automated people mover systems (acquired from Bombardier) are the dominant rubber-tired APM platforms deployed in airports and urban settings worldwide. Competes with 2GetThere's GRT on capacity-focused corridor projects and shares the dedicated-guideway automation category.
