Aloya, made in Nicosia.

AI mobility software for Cyprus, starting with one calm, bilingual app for every bus on the island.

How it started.

One late bus, too many apps, and the calm bilingual app the island didn't have yet.

  1. 2025, AURA CY

    The project begins under its first name, AURA CY.

  2. 2026, Aloya CY

    Renamed Aloya CY and built in Nicosia.

  3. Live on the web

    The rider app is live at app.aloya.cy, free for everyone.

Transit deserves editorial care.

Most transit apps read like a database in a raincoat. They tell you a route exists. They don't tell you what the ride feels like, whether the driver takes cash, or where to stand at 06:15 in Larnaca when the coastal wind is up. We write those things down.

Who makes Aloya.

Samuel Adu-Berekorang leads Aloya CY from Nicosia, where the app and this site are designed and built. Aloya CY is a StaUniverse product.

Four rules, no drift.

Every design choice is measured against these four. If a feature doesn't pass, it doesn't ship.

  • Calm over loud

    No push spam, no dark patterns, no gamified nudges. If the bus is late, we say the bus is late.

  • Bilingual by default

    Every string ships in English and Greek on the same day. Neither language is an afterthought.

  • Honest data

    Fares, timetables and live positions come from the operators that run the buses.

  • Independent

    No operator holds equity in Aloya. If we say the 45 is faster than the taxi, it's because it is.

Talk to a person, not a form.

Press, partnerships, operator integrations, or just a kind message. We read everything.
