Glydways, Inc., founded in 2016 and headquartered in South San Francisco, California, is a transportation technology company developing Automated Transit Networks (ATN). The system employs small autonomous electric vehicles, known as Glydcars, that operate on dedicated narrow guideways to enable on-demand, point-to-point personal rapid transit.
Designed for urban mobility, Glydways aims to reduce congestion, lower infrastructure costs compared to traditional rail, and provide high-capacity service—up to 10,000 people per hour at scale—while cutting CO2 emissions. Demonstrations and pilots are underway in locations including South Metro Atlanta (where groundbreaking occurred in 2026 for the first public system), San Jose, Contra Costa, and the UAE.
The company has secured significant funding, including a $170 million Series C round, and collaborates with partners like Mitsui Chemicals for vehicle materials and Asian market expansion. Previously known as Wayfarer, Glydways focuses on affordable, scalable, 24/7 public transit solutions.
Also known as Wayfarer, Inc. and Wayfarer Cities, Inc..
