Rally has created the platform and demand for thousands of bus trips across 40 states and provinces with its "bus rideshare." The app aggregates like-minded individuals going to events both small and large, from weddings and corporate outings to arena sports and music festivals. The technology crowdsources bus stops and crowdfunds buses to create on-demand trips. By generating new demand for buses with use-case innovations, Rally and their sister company, OurBus, convert billions of dollars spent on cars to shared buses. By doing so, they unlock the value of the industry's idle vehicle capacity, which is a lost opportunity of $5B annually in the US alone and estimated at $35B globally. Having improved bus travel for millions of riders to date, Rally and OurBus united through an acquisition to create the leading technology company for mass mobility in the United States. The companies capture market share by meeting or surpassing the modern consumer's expectations of easy online booking, customer-centric policies, high quality operators, and a technology-oriented approach to the entire customer journey. Rally and OurBus have established new consumer brands in busing built for the sharing economy. Together, they provide a single technology platform affecting the private bus industry's 700M annual passenger trips. They empower the 3,000+ small businesses that comprise the US private bus industry. Rally and OurBus products are supported by a more efficient, combined bus operator network of small businesses, to whom they offer a fully operational SaaS infrastructure. They have made a direct impact on the private bus industry by helping operators increase revenues with automation and business model innovations. Now you can crowdfund bus travel to your favorite destinations at rally.co, or book your scheduled intercity ride at ourbus.com.
