Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

The project 'Remix by Via' is a highly successful, verified B2G transit planning platform acquired by Via for $100M in 2021, serving 350+ cities globally. However, the specific submission provided contains extremely low-quality data (e.g., user 'ShadowRider', claims of 'everyone' as audience, and 'most people' as traction). While the real-world utility and traction of the actual software are exceptional (Unicorn status), the Proof of Usefulness score is heavily penalized by the lack of direct evidence in the submission and the unprofessional quality of the entry. The score reflects a balance between the undeniable value of the technology and the poor quality of this specific application.

Description
In March 2021, Remix started a new chapter as part of Via, the leading software platform for public mobility across five continents. Joining forces with Via represents an incredible opportunity to tackle some of the biggest mobility challenges we face in the decade to come.\n\nRemix is the first platform that brings together the entire transportation picture — public transit, streets, and the abundance of new mobility options like scooters and bikes. With so many private modes coming to streets near you (and soon AVs), it’s a critical time to ensure your community’s values are reflected in your city’s policies. Remix empowers cities to play a central role in their transportation future — helping planners explore new concepts, make informed decisions with data, and rally people around their vision — so that ultimately cities are safe, accessible, and equitable for everyone.\n
