Milpitas SMART — Local on-demand transit
Milpitas SMART is a free, app-based transportation option built by RideCo Inc. Designed for iPhone users, it delivers flexible, on-demand rides across the City of Milpitas. The service blends the ease of ride-hailing with the passenger capacity and lower cost of traditional shuttle or vanpool services.
How rides are requested
Riders use the app to request a trip and are picked up at one of the virtual pickup points positioned throughout the city. Trips typically connect passengers to one of the program’s four main hubs (or run in the opposite direction), making it easy to travel between neighborhoods and transit connections.
Main stops and connections
- VTA light rail stations
- Milpitas Transit Center
- Great Mall
- Milpitas City Hall
Fare structure and discounts
- Adult fare: $2.50 per trip
- Reduced fare: $1.00 per trip for youth, riders with disabilities, and low-income passengers
These fares make the service an affordable option for daily commuting and short local trips.
Who benefits from the service
The program serves both residents and visitors of Milpitas, offering a dependable link to retail, civic, and regional transit locations. It’s especially useful for commuters, students, seniors, and anyone needing an economical connection to major hubs.
Device compatibility and an optional companion app
Milpitas SMART is currently available for iPhone. For users who like extra travel tools, consider a third‑party dashcam option such as “Car Crash Recorder — Dashcam” (free) as a complementary app for vehicle-related recording needs.
