Rumbo
The public transport app for emerging markets
Rumbo is a one-of-a-kind public transport app. In emerging markets, more than two thirds of the population rely on public transport, but lack access to reliable information. Rumbo overcomes this. Powered by WhereIsMyTransport's data from all formal and informal modes of public transport, as well as crowdsourced data, Rumbo helps people solve their public transport problems. By tapping into the pulse of a city, Rumbo is enabling a new relationship between cities, citizens, and service providers.
