Absolute hell. Nightmarish. Quintessential POS. These are all words we regularly use to describe transportation in New York City.
The rails are falling apart. Cabs and buses can’t even RN. And don’t even get us started on how much $$$ we’re burning on private cars (RIP bank account).
Trying to make sense of this grid system that’s all too gridlock-happy is your new and crazy-affordable transit BFF, Via.
Via’s the shared ride service that’s really just trying to make getting from Point A to Point B make sense for you, your wallet, and yup, even the environment.

They’ve taken every "Screw It, I'll Just Meet You At The Corner!" struggle you’ve ever had with cabs and other rideshare apps and built an entire platform off of it.
Yup. Rather than coming to your door (or the weird sporadic dot that’s supposed to be you but is actually a block over) their pick ups and drop offs are on nearby street corners. It saves you time by cutting to the chase, instead of you chasing down disoriented drivers.
The best thing about Via? You’ll always be shown super affordable prices upfront, i.e. no unwanted surprises when the receipt shows up in your inbox. Plus, sharing your ride means less congestion, fewer emissions, and a less dead planet. Yay!
Via runs 24/7 with service in Manhattan below 125th Street, Long Island City, and to-and-from all three major airports (yes, believe it or not, Newark counts as a major airport).
And they’re on the move! They’ve got a bunch of new routes bumpin’ along in Downtown Brooklyn, Williamsburg, and Greenpoint, and they’re expanding quickly.
They also just announced a new ViaExpress service, which guarantees that once you’re onboard, you’ll never make more than one additional pickup. Pretty sweet!
So, check out Via. You’ll save time, money, MF planet Earth, and that last shred of patience you’ve got left for NYC transportation.
Oh, and don't forget: your first ride's free* with the code SPOILED2017.
