Transit startup raises $4M

Cambridge transportation startup Bridj, which runs a fleet of buses in Boston that travel on routes determined by demand, has raised $4 million in seed funding, the company said yesterday.

The company also announced that it has hired Gabe Klein as chief operating officer. Klein was formerly the head of the Chicago and Washington, D.C., departments of transportation.

The money was invested by Atlas Ventures, NextView Ventures and others. Bridj said thousands have used the service since it launched in beta in June.

Google agrees
to refund kids' 
app purchases

Google has agreed to pay full refunds totaling at least $19 million to consumers who were charged for purchases that children made without parental consent from the Google Play app store.

The settlement is part of the third case by the Federal Trade Commission about unauthorized in-app purchases made by children. It settled with Apple for $32.5 million in January and it filed a complaint against Amazon, which has said it won't settle over the charges.

In Google's case, the FTC said that since 2011, consumers have reported children had made unauthorized charges ranging from 99 cents to $200 within kids' apps downloaded from the Google Play store.
