SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Swiftly Inc. has been named a Best Workplace for Innovators by Fast Company and one of the 5,000 fastest-growing private companies by Inc. Magazine, reflecting a year of record growth for the transit technology company. Over 125 transit agencies in 8 countries now rely on the Swiftly Connected Transit Platform™ to improve their service reliability, passenger information, and operational efficiency.

"Innovating and thinking differently is core to our success and growth," said Jonny Simkin, CEO and co-founder of Swiftly. "We're thrilled to receive recognition for our hard work by making the Inc. 5000 list as well as being featured as one of Fast Company's Best Workplaces for Innovators."
