Evo is joining pilot for new app that shares regional transit, carshare and bikeshare services!

February 21, 2024


Evo is joining TransLink, Modo, and Mobi by Rogers in a beta test for the RideLink App, a new app that integrates transit, carshare, and bikeshare services into one convenient location. The app is a one-stop-shop for seamless travel across Metro Vancouver without a personal vehicle.

App users will be able to:

  • Plan trips with transit, carshare, and bikeshare options with real-time information on vehicle and bike locations.

  • Use their Compass Cards to tap into transit, Evo, and Modo vehicles as well as Mobi Bikes at bikeshare stations.

  • Book and pay for carshare and bikeshare services.

Starting today, TransLink is accepting applications for 1,300 customers to test the app as part of a pilot program. TransLink will gather feedback from participants over a 12-month period on the usability and ease of integration between the services. This feedback will allow TransLink to assess whether this will become a permanent app in the future and apply upgrades to the software.

To be eligible to participate in the trial, applicants must be at least 19 years old, have a valid driver’s licence, a valid credit card, and a smartphone. Those who are interested in using multiple mobility services are more likely to be selected for the trial.

Interested? Apply here.

We are excited to officially launch in Victoria, BC on August 1, 2021. We started in Vancouver and now we are bringing our flexible and environmentally friendly car sharing to Victoria and offering a new choice for getting around the city.


Starting with 80 of the latest Toyota Prius low-emission hybrids, Members in Victoria will get all our usual Evo perks. Free parking will be available within the Home Zone through parkade spots, street parking in residential areas and free metered parking. We also have two satellite parking zones at the University of Victoria and Camosun College, Lansdowne Campus. Plus, gas, insurance, and vehicle maintenance are on us like always. For more info around our launch in Victoria, click here.


We will now have two separate Home Zones – Metro Vancouver and Victoria. To ensure there are enough Evos are available in each zone for our Members, you’ll need to start and end your trip in the same Home Zone. You can still go anywhere in Canada and take Evo for as long as you need, just remember to leave Evo in the same Home Zone you left from.


To celebrate our arrival to Victoria we’re giving you free membership and 30 free minutes*. The offer is available until December 31, 2021 so make sure you enter promo code HELLOVIC30 when you sign up to apply the offer.
