How does Pickup work?

- Savy is an on-demand transit system service powered by Via that takes multiple passengers heading in the same direction and books them into a shared vehicle. Using the Savy app, type in your address and your destination and we’ll match you with a vehicle going your way.

- To save time and reduce detours, we’ll pick you up on a nearby corner and drop you off within a few blocks of your requested destination. Our smart algorithms provide trip times that are comparable to a taxi, even with multiple pick-ups along the way.

- Book rides on-demand, or pre-schedule them up to 30 days in advance! Create repeated bookings, go to the airport, and more; Savy is always available when you need it.

- Savy operates Sunday-Thursdays from 6am-11pm, and on Fridays and Saturdays between 6 a.m. and 1 a.m.

How long will I wait?
