Bridj is a commuter shuttle service owned by the privately held firm Bridj Inc. based in Boston, Massachusetts, with a mobile-phone application that allows passengers to ride a shuttle between home and work during commuting hours. As of 2016, the company provides services in Boston, MA and Washington, D.C., as well as joint operations of a microtransit service in Kansas City with the Kansas City Area Transportation Authority.

History

Founded early in 2014 in Boston, Massachusetts, the company launched in their home town later the same year followed by Washington, D.C. in April 2015.

The company raised $4 million from a number of venture capital firms and an early investor in Zipcar.

On February 10, 2016, Bridj and the Kansas City Area Transportation Authority announced "Ride KC: Bridj", a pilot project that would use Bridj as the operator of a microtransit system under the RideKC brand.
