Eva is a Montreal-based cooperative ride-sharing and delivery platform that offers an alternative to large ride-hailing companies like Uber. Founded in 2017, Eva promotes fairer driver compensation (85%+ per trip) and data privacy through blockchain-based infrastructure. It operates in select cities in Quebec, including Montreal, Quebec City, and Gatineau.

Eva positions itself as a community-driven and ethical alternative to traditional platforms. It is built as a multi-stakeholder cooperative, where both riders and drivers can become members and participate in decision-making. In addition to ride-sharing, Eva also offers delivery services from local restaurants and merchants.

However, Eva’s adoption and technical performance have been limited. As of 2025, its mobile apps have relatively low user ratings (around 3.5/5) on both iOS and Android, with frequent complaints about login issues, network errors, and lack of available drivers. Despite these challenges, the platform is still operational and actively recruiting members and drivers.

Eva remains a niche service in Canada’s mobility ecosystem. While it provides a unique model aligned with cooperative values and local reinvestment, its limited presence and technical drawbacks make it a complementary rather than primary transportation option in its service areas.
