A mobility operating system for Cyprus.
The rider app is the first step. The goal is one trustworthy mobility layer for the whole island.
Can I trust what this app just told me?
Cyprus has buses, coaches, scooters, bikes, shuttles, EV chargers and a national traffic feed. What it doesn't have is one trustworthy way to use all of it.
Riders open competing apps and give up. Visitors default to taxis because nothing tells them the coach is far cheaper. We compete on that one question, and everything else follows. Trust compounds, so we don't skip steps.
Five horizons.
In order, without dates. What the app does today is on the features page.
Today, and growing.
A single Cyprus mobility app a resident, visitor or commuter can trust. Every mode on one map, one plan, one screen: bus, coach, bike, scooter, park-and-ride and airport shuttle.
Planned next: boats and the harbour, once there's a service to plan with.
Planning across operators
In the app now, in Greek and English.
Help on the way
Stop alerts, mid-ride re-planning, weather-aware suggestions and timetables saved for offline use, in the app now.
One clear view of what a trip costs.
Planned: an honest fare comparison across every operator and partner, and, with the operators, a simpler way to pay, including group and visitor passes.
The engine for Cyprus mobility.
Planned: reliability scores per route, stop and hour, delay prediction, detection of buses that stop reporting, and routing that ranks by real arrival times. These are future models; we'll say so plainly when they're ready.
The same engines, as products.
Planned: routing, reliability, realtime, places and fare APIs, and web and mobile SDKs any Cypriot business can drop in. White-label screens for airports, hotels and universities. A read-only partner console: analytics, never levers.
The default mobility layer of Cyprus.
The horizon: Aloya in CarPlay, Android Auto, Siri, home-screen widgets and Live Activities, and the layer for events, tourism, accessibility and logistics. The rider app becomes one of many surfaces on the same platform.
Six rules. Not aspirations.
Accuracy over reinvention
Authoritative data is the source of truth for times, routing and places. Our edge is joining the best signals, not copying them badly.
Say when we don't know
Never fake confidence. Never round a station with no bikes up to one. Every state can be named in one plain line.
Trust compounds
A rider lost to a wrong time is lost for good, not for one trip. We optimise for the riders who tell their friends.
Riders first, always
Even at the last horizon, the rider is why the platform exists. A partner request that hurts riders gets a no.
Anonymous by default
Planning, live times and alerts never need an account. Accounts only keep your history.
No dark patterns
No sponsored ranking, no fake urgency, no ads, no cross-app tracking, no data sold. Fastest is fastest.
A memory of every bus day.
Planned. Most apps look at the bus now and forget it a minute later. We want to keep the record, because after a year it shows how the island really moves.
The buses
Where each bus is, minute by minute; how fast it moves on each street; how late it is at each stop; whole years of past trips.
The island around them
Heat, rain, wind and air quality; flights landing at Larnaca and Paphos; ships docking at Limassol; match days and big events.
What riders see
Stop reports from riders, fixes when the feed is wrong, transfers made and missed, and real walking and boarding times.
Never one person
Shared only as counts and averages, never as anyone's trips.
Arrival times that know the day
A ship docks in Limassol at 09:30 and the coast road slows. The record would add the minutes before you feel them.
A warning before a bus vanishes
When a bus stops reporting the way it did on days it was pulled, offer another way instead of leaving you at the stop.
A straight answer about your transfer
How often that transfer worked at that hour, and an earlier bus if it looks tight.
A note when the bus leaves early
Only the record shows which trips run ahead, so only the record can warn you.
How full it's likely to be
School hours, work hours and flight waves repeat, and so does standing room.
A fair report card
Promised time against real time, for every operator. Just what the buses did.
The ministry and the towns
For road and route decisions.
Operators
To see where their own service slips.
Hotels and resorts
For honest travel times to airports and beaches.
Couriers and delivery firms
For traffic they can plan around.
Other mobility apps
That need the same ground truth.
Universities
Studying island transport. Rider data is never for sale.
The roadmap, in waves.
In order, with no dates and no promises about when.
| Wave | Focus | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Trust | Honest live times, smart alternatives when a trip fails, and reliability scores. |
| 2 | Daily use | Why-this-route reasons, accessibility-weighted routing, walk guidance and park-and-ride. |
| 3 | Every mode | Intercity patterns, Nextbike, Bolt scooters, EV chargers, Kapnos, traffic alerts and group trips. |
| 4 | Fares | Clear fares across operators, and group, family and visitor passes with the operators. |
| 5 | Intelligence as a product | Routing, reliability, realtime, places and fare APIs, with a developer portal. |
| 6 | SDKs and white-label | Web and mobile SDKs, and screens for airports, hotels and universities. |
| 7 | The mobility OS | CarPlay, Android Auto, Siri, Live Activities and widgets. |
| 8 | Beyond Cyprus | Malta first, then the Greek islands and the Balearics. Never before Cyprus is done right. |
The rider app is free. The revenue is the platform.
Free for every rider
Planning in every mode, live bus positions, accessibility features, group trips, timetables saved for offline use and re-planning when a trip goes wrong. No subscription.
Open the appAloya API
Planned: a free tier, then usage tiers for high-volume partners.
SDK licensing and corporate mobility
Planned: per-site and per-app SDK licences, and employer-funded travel budgets.
Events and data products
Planned: anonymised, aggregated mobility patterns. Never one person's trips.
Some lines are drawn once, and never crossed.
We never sell riders' personal data
We never sell rider-level location data
We never sell to advertisers or track you across apps
No sponsored ranking of routes or operators
No dark patterns, anywhere
Cyprus is a small island. That's the whole opportunity.
One country, one mobility layer, done right, then exported. Aloya, Nicosia.
