Liftango powers some of the most successful on-demand shared transport systems across the world. By guiding global organisations on how to plan, launch and scale their shared mobility programs, we provide a pathway to a sustainable and climate-positive future. Our vision is to unlock all the good that comes from shared transport and our mission is to make sustainable and meaningful connections through a unified platform—to optimise transport systems and combat climate change. We are driven to reduce CO2 emissions for our clients, our own business and our cities. On average we help clients eliminate CO2 emissions equivalent to planting 31 acres of forest every year, which translates to about 31 football pitches or 83,370 trees. If there’s room in a vehicle—it should be shared. We’re here to help make that happen with cost-effectiveness and ease. We are helping: 
• Cities evolve into Smarter Cities 
• Transit Agencies to create better public bus systems
 • Private bus operators to digitise their services to become more efficient 
• Corporates to create sustainable and scalable mobility solutions for their staff • Property developers to design sites around future mobility solutions instead of using space for parking Our team can be found around the world working closely with our partners to co-create localised solutions suited to the citizens of the region, city or regional town. We value dedication, being bold, adapting and being courageous. Liftango co-workers (or Liftonauts as we endearingly refer to ourselves) are a mix of professionals with deep experience in advanced algorithms, data science, product management, app development, project delivery and professional stakeholder management. We are a high performing team focusing on operations, growth, member services, expansion, business development, and partner success.
