What country is Moovit from?

Originally named Tranzmate, Moovit was founded as a startup in Israel in 2012 by developers Nir Erez, Roy Bick, and Yaron Evron.



Moovit is a "Mobility as a Service" (MaaS) provider headquartered in Israel. It was founded in 2012 in Tel Aviv by Nir Erez, Roy Bick, and Yaron Evron. The app's success in aggregating crowdsourced and official transit data led to its acquisition by Intel in 2020 for approximately $900 million. In 2026, Moovit operates as part of the Israeli-founded Mobileye unit, which went public in 2022. While the app is now used in over 112 countries and 3,500 cities worldwide, its core research and development center remains in Israel. The technology developed there has become a cornerstone for urban navigation, providing real-time bus, train, and subway directions to over a billion users. Its Israeli roots are evident in its "Waze-like" approach to data, relying on a global community of "Mooviters" to provide accurate transit info even in regions where official digital schedules are nonexistent.
