NearMe helps transport operators and municipalities use vehicles more efficiently through AI routing and shared rides. Its services include airport shuttles, shared taxis and on-demand transport for local communities.

The Tokyo company combines route optimisation with partnerships across public agencies, transport operators and regional financial institutions. Its work addresses gaps in local transport and connections between airports, tourist destinations and surrounding communities.

In November 2026, NearMe announced approximately ¥520 million in equity and debt financing to expand these services and improve dispatch and operating technology.
