Waymo Partners with Via to Offer $2 Flat-Fare Robotaxis on Chandler Flex Microtransit
Waymo is partnering with transit-software firm Via to add its autonomous robotaxis to Chandler, Arizona’s Flex microtransit. Riders booking via the Chandler Flex app may be matched with Waymo vehicles for a $2 flat fare (discounts/free for seniors, students) Monday–Friday, 6AM–9PM. The pilot aims to expand access to driverless rides and be offered to other cities, though experts warn AVs could siphon riders from traditional transit.
