How Spare helps

One app for every rider and every trip

Spare One breaks down silos between services. Riders move from bus to train to on-demand service without switching apps, accounts, or systems.

• Riders plan, book, and pay for multimodal trips—bus, train, or microtransit—in one app.

• Fare collection is simplified through Spare Wallet, Tickets, and integrations like Masabi and Token Transit.

• Accessibility and compliance are prioritized, meeting WCAG 2.2 AA standards to ensure inclusive mobility.

Designed for coordinated mobility

With built-in trip logic, Spare One keeps every leg of a multimodal trip in sync. Riders get smarter options — and your team gets fewer complaints about missed connections.

• “Arrive By” logic to sync timing between services

• Dynamic Rebooking to automatically update disrupted trips

• Real-time alerts so riders stay informed and confident

Total control for your agency

Spare One is your app — not a third-party aggregator. You control the branding, the rider messaging, and how payments are handled. It’s built to work with your systems, your goals, and your communities.

• Custom app name and design in the App Store

• Push notifications and service alerts managed by your team

Hill Country Transit District (HCTD) has modernized The HOP by shifting from fixed routes to a flexible, on-demand service powered by Spare. Riders can now book trips in real time through the Spare One app or Uber, connecting more easily across four counties.

Now riders and stakeholders are happier than ever. They can book trips and pay in one app, and we’ve truly connected our region into one transit network. Performance is trending up across the board.
