Car-Centric Mindset Clogs Our Roads
Traffic jams and lost time are some of the painful and inevitable outcomes, whether commuting to work or heading out to a special event. Meanwhile, a promising bus industry, which makes travel easier for the masses, has been left far behind the technology curve. Throughout US history, the bus option has been underserved by investors and rendered largely unusable by travelers who are searching for a better way.
Meeting Modern Travelers’ Expectations
We’ve all seen technology change the way we utilize taxis, rental cars, and bikes. What Uber did for travel within cities is how Rally is changing travel between cities. The Rally OurBus platform creates demand-based trips with dynamic routes, and dispatches buses on-demand. Rather than own the buses directly, Rally’s network of bus companies have been onboarded to provide for our two tech-based solutions: a buspool rideshare for events and a regularly scheduled service for highly traveled corridors between cities.

$120M in Revenue Already
People are always on the move, and we’ve been deploying buses across the country to meet this need. We've worked with hundreds of bus operator partners on trips in 40 US states and 4 countries. With millions of rides completed, Rally has already generated over $120M in revenue, growing 580% since 2020.
Tap Into a $150 Billion Market Opportunity¹
$5B Untapped Market
Every year in America, there are 580 million people who travel by motorcoach, the most common bus type that Rally OurBus customers ride. The motorcoach industry is fragmented and ripe for disruption. The typical bus is only utilized at 55% of its capability, leaving $5B unused capacity². Rally addresses a $150B market opportunity by putting that surplus to work and meeting regional transportation needs for travelers.
Uniting 40,000+ Motorcoaches in the US
Despite significant demand for transportation, the bus industry is extremely fragmented and comprises mostly small businesses. Less than 7% of buses³ are owned by major players like Greyhound. We network together the 3,000+ bus companies to create a "virtual bus company" that's even bigger than Greyhound. It's the same way Uber was able to eclipse the taxi industry without owning their own fleet of cars.
Capturing an Eager Audience
We target thoughtful travelers going to different cities for work, family, or entertainment. We also appeal to passionate fans and university students who simply want their wider communities to travel in a way that brings like-minded people together. Buses move more people than any other mode of transportation globally, and Rally's goal is to capture and grow this huge segment of the mobility market.
17K+ 5-Star Reviews and Counting
With over 17K 5-star reviews on Google, TripAdvisor, and TrustPilot, we’re in a league of our own. Legacy competitors are still struggling to respond to what today’s travelers need and want. How did we manage to become category leaders? It’s our secret sauce: we listen to our riders!
Extend the Event Experience
Rally works with teams, leagues, and brands to promote the bus rideshare to events. We also work with universities, hotels, bars, and restaurants to reach audiences at a local level. Rally & OurBus solve real problems for these organizations, so they help us spread the word about our services, and earn additional revenue from our mutual customers.

Mass Mobility as a Service
Mobility-as-a-service (MaaS) has become a global concept and category. Rally extends this innovation to the movement of the groups of people and addressing surge demand situations. We use a crowd-powered approach with Mass Mobility-as-a-Service (MMaaS). By aggregating individual demand, we positively impact society at scale. In contrast, increased taxi usage has caused greater congestion, which will only get worse with autonomous cars. Rally’s solutions affect high-capacity vehicles, creating more mobility options for travelers, and reducing burden on our infrastructure.
Motorcoaches Are the Greenest Form of Transportation⁴
Motorcoaches are proven to be the single greenest form of mass transportation, using less energy to transport more people long distances. Meanwhile, by offering ridesharing for large groups, we help decrease traffic congestion all over and keep drunk drivers off the roads.
Get Investor Exclusive Benefits
Being that we’re trailblazing a new path for mass transportation, we want to give our investors that same opportunity. That’s why we’ve come up with a unique perk structure to ensure you’re not only heard and rewarded today, but long into the future.

“Buses are the greenest form of transportation⁴”
.avif)
Buses, Reimagined
Rally works with bus companies’ existing fleets of high quality motorcoaches, which are premium buses usually used for weddings and school field trips. Already the greenest forms of transportation⁴, but they are diesel powered, and represent the current generation of buses. We're proud to be leading the way and have created a concept that reimagines what it means to be a bus. Our vision of this next phase of hardware will match our software innovations, iterating towards the best rider experience. Check out the video for the first ever Rally concept bus for a more aerodynamic style, with seats individualized for privacy, the latest hydrogen fuel cell technology, and autonomous capability.

FAQ's
Regulation CF allows investors to invest in startups and early-growth companies. This is different from helping a company raise money on Kickstarter; with Regulation CF Offerings, you aren’t buying products or merchandise - you are buying a piece of a company and helping it grow.
Accredited investors can invest as much as they want. But if you are NOT an accredited investor, your investment limit depends on either your annual income or net worth, whichever is greater. If the number is less than $124,000, you can only invest 5% of it. If both are greater than $124,000 then your investment limit is 10%.
To calculate your net worth, just add up all of your assets and subtract all of your liabilities (excluding the value of the person’s primary residence). The resulting sum is your net worth.
We cannot give tax advice, and we encourage you to talk with your accountant or tax advisor before making an investment.
Individuals over 18 years of age can invest.
There will always be some risk involved when investing in a startup or small business. And the earlier you get in the more risk that is usually present. If a young company goes out of business, your ownership interest could lose all value. You may have limited voting power to direct the company due to dilution over time. You may also have to wait about five to seven years (if ever) for an exit via acquisition, IPO, etc. Because early-stage companies are still in the process of perfecting their products, services, and business model, nothing is guaranteed. That’s why startups should only be part of a more balanced, overall investment portfolio.
The Common Stock (the "Shares") of Rally (the "Company") are not publicly-traded. As a result, the shares cannot be easily traded or sold. As an investor in a private company, you typically look to receive a return on your investment under the following scenarios: The Company gets acquired by another company. The Company goes public (makes an initial public offering). In those instances, you receive your pro-rata share of the distributions that occur, in the case of acquisition, or you can sell your shares on an exchange. These are both considered long-term exits, taking approximately 5-10 years (and often longer) to see the possibility for an exit. It can sometimes take years to build companies. Sometimes there will not be any return, as a result of business failure.
Shares sold via Regulation Crowdfunding offerings have a one-year lockup period before those shares can be sold under certain conditions.
Exceptions to limitations on selling shares during the one-year lockup period:
In the event of death, divorce, or similar circumstance, shares can be transferred to:
• The company that issued the securities
• An accredited investor
• A family member (child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent, grandparent, spouse or equivalent, sibling, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law, including adoptive relationships)
If a company does not reach their minimum funding target, all funds will be returned to the investors after the close of the offering.
All available disclosure information can be found on the offering pages for our Regulation Crowdfunding offering.
You can cancel your investment at any time, for any reason, until 48 hours prior to a closing occurring. If you’ve already funded your investment and your funds are in escrow, your funds will be promptly refunded to you upon cancellation. To submit a request to cancel your investment please email: info@dealmakersecurities.com
At a minimum, the company will be filing with the SEC and posting on its website an annual report, along with certified financial statements. Those should be available 120 days after the fiscal year end. If the company meets a reporting exception, or eventually has to file more reported information to the SEC, the reporting described above may end. If these reports end, you may not continually have current financial information about the company.
Once an offering ends, the company may continue its relationship with DealMaker Securities for additional offerings in the future. DealMaker Securities’ affiliates may also provide ongoing services to the company. There is no guarantee any services will continue after the offering ends.
