“Via’s technology combines several drivers who are driving in a similar direction in a single vehicle. The routing enables fast and efficient shared journeys without long detours or on fixed route plans,” says a press release from UTA. “After booking a ride, the app shows the pick-up location where the vehicle will pick you up. Via is a corner-to-corner service, so you can be picked up and dropped off near your final destination.”
