Book a ride in real time!

Great news! As of May 16, Via has an expanded zone in El Monte to connect with more riders.

How to ride

Step 1: Create your account.

If you have a smartphone or tablet:

• Download the Via app, and sign up for an account using a credit, debit, or pre-paid card.
• Search “Via” in the App Store or Google Play Store, and look for the blue app icon.

If you do not have a smartphone or tablet:

Please call (619) 731-0710 to set up your account and book a ride.

Step 2: Request a Ride.

• Type your pickup address and destination in the app.
• You’ll receive a proposal with an estimated time of arrival when the next available Via-cle can pick you up.
• This service is intended to serve first/last mile connections for El Monte Station, so all trips must start or end at this station.

Step 3: Meet your driver.

• You’ll be asked to meet your driver at a nearby pickup spot (no more than 500 feet). If you’re having trouble finding your ride or have any questions about the service, contact Via’s Live Support at (619) 731-0710.
