Swiftly, Inc. is a mobility solutions company whose services include a public transit mobile app, real-time transit passenger information systems, and data-driven analytics suite for transit agencies. The company's mobile app, simply called "Swiftly", currently supports iOS iPhone devices, and is operational in the San Francisco Bay Area and Toronto, Ontario metro area.

Overview
Swiftly, Inc.'s mobile app offers real-time public transit information, GPS navigation across multiple transportation modes, including public transit, Uber, bicycling, and walking. Users can access a live map, and view nearby stops and stations based on their current GPS location, as well as plan trips across transportation modes based on real-time data.[5] The application differs from traditional public transit applications as it is community-driven and integrates official public transit data from transit operators with real-time data collected from users via crowdsourcing.[6] In early 2015, Moovit became the first provider to create transit data for areas in which no data is officially available (or where local transit agencies do not offer it to app developers) by creating a "community editor" and allowing volunteer editors to generate schedule and map data[7] to be loaded into the Moovit app.

By riding with the 'Live Ride' feature active, users can passively and anonymously transmit their speed and location data to Moovit. Moovit then integrates this crowdsourced data with public transit schedules to improve trip plan results based on current conditions, and share this data with the user community.[8] In addition to passively sharing data, users can actively send reports including reasons for delays, overcrowding, satisfaction with their bus driver, and wifi availability.[9] Category:Mobile applications
