Scott+Scott Attorneys at Law LLP, a shareholder and consumer rights litigation firm, has launched an investigation into Via Transportation, Inc. (NYSE: VIA) concerning the company's possible violations of federal securities laws. Via Transportation went public on the NYSE in September 2025 at $46 per share, but its stock price has since fallen over 70% to as low as $13.11 per share. The investigation was prompted by a report from Bleeker Street Research alleging that Via Transportation's business model is more focused on transit services than software, and that the company has inflated its revenue figures.

Why it matters

The investigation by Scott+Scott could lead to a class action lawsuit on behalf of investors who lost money on Via Transportation stock. This case highlights the risks investors face when companies go public with unproven business models, and the importance of thorough due diligence before investing in IPOs.

The details

According to the report from Bleeker Street Research, Via Transportation's September 2025 IPO 'narrative centers on the idea that it is a software platform' but the company is actually 'a transit services contractor whose revenue is determined almost entirely by driver hours, vehicle hours, and operational labor, not by software licenses or platform usage.' The report also alleges 'VIA routinely books large implementation fees and up to 18 months of software charges upfront, inflating ARR.'

  • Via Transportation went public on the NYSE in September 2025 at $46 per share.
  • On March 10, 2026, Bleeker Street Research published its report alleging issues with Via Transportation's business model and revenue recognition.
  • On March 10, 2026, Via Transportation's stock price fell $0.49, or 2.6%, to close at $18.51 per share.
