Spare Powers AI Voice for Public Transit With Retell

Spare has collaborated with Retell to implement AI voice technology across more than 40 transit agencies worldwide, enhancing accessibility for riders who rely on phone calls to book paratransit trips. This initiative, which began as a modest pilot project, has evolved into a fully operational network handling over 1.29 million calls and processing more than 2.49 million minutes, with substantial call volumes and a success rate of 70-75% for trip completions. The AI-driven system significantly reduces negative sentiment and ensures that essential services are accessible to elderly, disabled, and transit-dependent individuals across the US, Canada, and Europe. By automating the voice layer of public transit, Spare and Retell aim to make transit systems more efficient and accessible, while also providing potential cost savings for agencies utilizing AI voice agents.
