Mozio is building the ultimate city mobility app: one app to book public transit, shuttles, limos, taxis, express trains and express buses. The world is bigger than Uber: of the $450 billion spent on local transportation every year, the majority are on other options like public transit. And each city has it's own transportation stack: you move around SF differently than you move around London, Munich or Oslo. Each one of those different transportation options in each city are on completely different technology stacks with different ticket redemption choices. Very often their fare structures are arcane, making you choose between "Tariff AB, BC or ABC." Mozio seeks to plug into all these sources and build your ultimate city mobility solution: we want you to be able to book a Supershuttle in Dallas, the Heathrow Express train in London, the U-Bahn in Germany, and Lyft when you get back home to SF.
