Last month, transportation startup Via announced the acquisition of Citymapper, a popular urban mapping app with 50 million users worldwide, for $110 million at a $3.5 billion valuation.

The plan is to incorporate Citymappers product and data into the Via platform while also keeping it operational. Read More..
