METS Micro for iPhone

Overview of METS Micro

METS Micro is a ridesharing offering from Via Transportation Inc., operating on the Eastside of Evansville. The service uses a mobile app so passengers can request on-demand trips quickly from their iPhone. Its goal is to combine convenience with cost-effectiveness while reducing the environmental impact of short urban trips.

How to request and ride

• Open the METS Micro app and submit your trip request.
• The system matches you with other passengers headed in a similar direction.
• Meet your driver at the corner or designated nearby pickup point for a shared ride.

These steps let riders enjoy the comfort of a private vehicle while sharing the trip’s cost and route with others.

Key advantages

• Lower fare per rider thanks to multiple passengers sharing one vehicle.
• Faster overall travel compared with some fixed-route options because trips are routed to minimize detours.
• Decreased traffic and fewer cars on the road, contributing to reduced CO2 emissions.
• A balance of private-ride comfort and public-transit efficiency through intelligent rider matching.

Cost, congestion, and environmental benefits

By grouping several passengers into a single vehicle, METS Micro keeps fares competitive with traditional rideshare services and public transit alternatives. The aggregation also helps cut down on total vehicle miles traveled in the neighborhood, which lessens congestion and greenhouse gas output—helping make the community cleaner with each trip.

Support and sharing feedback

If you need help, consult the app’s Help or Support section for assistance from the METS Micro support team. If you’re having a positive experience, please consider rating the service in the app to let the team know.
