SA startup WhereIsMyTransport is shutting down, cites lack of funds
- WhereIsMyTransport is shutting down after failing to raise new funding.
- The startup had raised over $27 million in funding and had mapped 50 cities across Africa, Latin America, Southeast Europe, and Asia.
- Some of its clients included the World Bank, which used its data to examine access to job opportunities via public transport in 12 African cities.
The shutdown of WhereIsMyTransport is unfortunate, as the startup had made significant progress in mapping public transport networks across multiple continents. Its data-driven approach aimed to improve the public transport experience and make commuting safer and more accessible. However, the inability to secure new funding ultimately led to the closure of the company.
