About Rally
Rally is a Mobility as a Service (MaaS)
technology company. The company has mobilized millions of
individual riders by creating bus trips that address surge demand
and intercity transportation challenges. Rally’s software empowers
consumers, using crowdfunding to aggregate riders traveling between
cities and to special events locations like sports arenas and rock
concerts. The trips are then fulfilled by Rally’s network of
thousands of small bus operator businesses that typically own
around 10 buses each on average. Rally’s marketplace model
identifies the availability of bus operators and matches the demand
to their supply of bus fleets that are typically operating at only
50% capacity. By doing so, Rally unlocks the value of the
industry’s global capacity. Rally operates in the capacity of an
intermediary within the private bus operator industry, and it does
not own or operate any buses and employs no drivers.
