Chariot
Solving Your Commute
ç
The customer experience is always front of mind. Riders can book seats for an average of $3, live-track their chariot with real-time ETA’s, and access instant customer support, all from their smartphones. Chariot is also integrated with commuter benefits to allow its customers to use pre-tax dollars to pay for their fare.
