LA Metro partners with Via to release affordable ride sharing app

The one-year pilot program aims to serve LA areas not serviced by other Metro options. The project will focus on the Compton, El Monte and North Hollywood communities. Riders can use the application for only $1.75 per trip with use of a TAP card. Those without a TAP card can ride for $3.75, but creators hope this will inspire more people to adopt public transportation. The partnership with Via will cost Metro $2.5 million, paid in part by the Federal Transportation Administration. Via is not expecting to make profit unless the service exceeds their expected ridership per hour.
