Evo is joining pilot for new app that shares regional transit, carshare and bikeshare services!

February 21, 2024


Evo is joining TransLink, Modo, and Mobi by Rogers in a beta test for the RideLink App, a new app that integrates transit, carshare, and bikeshare services into one convenient location. The app is a one-stop-shop for seamless travel across Metro Vancouver without a personal vehicle.

App users will be able to:

  • Plan trips with transit, carshare, and bikeshare options with real-time information on vehicle and bike locations.

  • Use their Compass Cards to tap into transit, Evo, and Modo vehicles as well as Mobi Bikes at bikeshare stations.

  • Book and pay for carshare and bikeshare services.

Starting today, TransLink is accepting applications for 1,300 customers to test the app as part of a pilot program. TransLink will gather feedback from participants over a 12-month period on the usability and ease of integration between the services. This feedback will allow TransLink to assess whether this will become a permanent app in the future and apply upgrades to the software.

To be eligible to participate in the trial, applicants must be at least 19 years old, have a valid driver’s licence, a valid credit card, and a smartphone. Those who are interested in using multiple mobility services are more likely to be selected for the trial.

Interested? Apply here.
