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.
