help Via FAQ

How does Via decide who shares a ride?

Via's software groups riders with similar destinations, then can select a vehicle and virtual pickup point and update the route as traffic and demand change. That makes Via-powered microtransit different from a fixed bus route and from a private Uber trip.

Can I book a Via ride without a smartphone?

Via's accessibility materials say riders may book and track through a web browser or an SMS WebView link, depending on the local partner. Some systems also support cash, tickets, vouchers or local transit cards. [Via accessibility information](https://ridewithvia.com/accessibility)

Is Via one nationwide ride-hailing app with one fare?

No, Via supplies technology to transit agencies and local operators, so service areas, vehicles, booking rules and fares are set by each partner. A rider must check the specific city service rather than assume the fare or hours from another Via deployment.

How does Via handle wheelchair access?

Via's platform can support accessible vehicles and booking options, but the actual wheelchair service depends on the transit agency operating the route. Check the local Via service for vehicle type, securement rules and whether advance notice is required.
