The Origin
Glydways began not with a breakthrough in vehicle technology, but with a deeply personal frustration.
Mark Seeger, founder and CEO of Glydways, had spent years watching how broken public transit systems failed people—taking too long, costing too much, or leaving entire communities disconnected. Whether it was missing work, school, or medical appointments, the consequences of inadequate mobility were real. And everywhere.
Mark saw that access to opportunity—jobs, education, healthcare, connection—starts with access to mobility. And yet, out of nearly 10,000 cities around the world, only 201 can afford to build traditional mass transit. That’s not just a failure of infrastructure. It’s a failure of equity.
A New Category Of Transit
Glydways was created to solve that.
It introduces an entirely new category of public transit: a disaggregated system of small, electric, autonomous vehicles that deliver private, on-demand rides—at the price of a bus ticket. With no transfers, no shared rides (unless you want to), and no delays from traffic, it connects people from where they are to where they need to go. And because it operates on narrow, dedicated guideways, it’s 90% cheaper than rail—making it affordable to build, operate, and scale in cities around the world.
Technology That Serves People
But Glydways is about more than vehicles or infrastructure. It’s about what becomes possible when transit finally works:
Cleaner air. Less congestion. Cities that reclaim space from cars and return it to people. And most importantly, a future where no one is left behind because they couldn’t get where they needed to go.
Mark’s mission—and Glydways’ mission—is to equitize access to mobility. To bring it everywhere, for everyone. Because when people are free to move, they’re free to thrive. Mobility is opportunity. And opportunity is everything.
Glydways isn’t just building a transportation system. It’s rewriting the rules of who gets to participate in society. If we get it right, we don’t just build a better ride.
We build a better city. A more human one. For all of us.
