The result is better service reliability, increased ridership, and more efficient transit operations.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-size: 16px;"><em>Even though Swiftly's HQ office is located in San Francisco, CA, we are open to candidates in most locations across the U.S. as well as Ontario and British Columbia, Canada.
