Welcome to Transit-Oriented: Your Go-To Source for All Things Transit

Founding Year: 2017

Transit-Oriented was born out of a passion for urban mobility and a growing concern about the gap in reliable, unbiased information regarding public transit systems worldwide. In 2017, we set out to create a one-stop news platform dedicated to shedding light on the latest developments, innovations, and trends in the transit industry.

Our Journey: From Idea to Reality

Over the past few years, our team has worked tirelessly to build a comprehensive online resource for transit enthusiasts, commuters, urban planners, and anyone interested in sustainable transportation. We’ve covered everything from groundbreaking infrastructure projects to community-driven initiatives, ensuring that our content is diverse and engaging.

Some of our key milestones include:

Launching our website in 2018 with a robust database of global transit news.
Expanding our reach by partnering with local transportation authorities in 2019, providing exclusive insights into upcoming projects.
Achieving one million page views in 2020, solidifying our position as a trusted source for transit news.
Introducing our interactive map feature in 2021, allowing users to explore transit routes globally.

Filling the Information Void

The internet is overflows with data, but when it comes to reliable, in-depth coverage of public transit, there was a notable gap. Many websites either lacked global reach or focused heavily on commercial aspects, neglecting the vital role transit plays in our daily lives.
