According to a recent LinkedIn post from Circuit, the City of Whittier, California has implemented the company’s microtransit service to support a growing community. The post describes six “Whittier Cruisers” operating for about eight months, connecting residents to dining, shopping, parks, and neighborhoods with average pickup times reportedly under 10 minutes via the Ride Circuit app.

The post indicates that demand for the service has been steadily increasing and that the program has achieved several unspecified service milestones. It also notes that the initiative is funded in part through grants from Los Angeles Metro and the State of California, suggesting that Circuit’s model can tap into public transit and grant-based funding streams.
Circuit’s LinkedIn post highlights its “fully managed” model, covering vehicles, drivers, and technology, while municipalities define service goals. For investors, this structure may point to a scalable B2G revenue model in which recurring contracts and external grant funding could support expansion, particularly in dense or growing urban areas seeking last-mile transit options.
The emphasis on short pickup times and growing ridership could, if replicated in other cities, strengthen Circuit’s positioning in the competitive microtransit and urban mobility segment. Successful execution in Whittier, backed by regional transit authorities, may enhance the company’s credibility when pursuing additional municipal partnerships and could underpin longer-term revenue visibility and network effects.
