Transportation networks around the world are looking for integrated solutions for users to access several services from a single application. — Brasil2/IStock.com/AFP
MaaS (Mobility as a Service) is a concept that regroups multiple urban mobility services into a single point. Google Maps and Citymapper are examples of apps that already encompass several service offers (public transportation, Uber...) and are among the first international examples of MaaS, but local projects are also increasingly investing in that field, with the most recent example being the Autonomous Parisian Transportation Administration (RATP) buying out mapping service Mappy.
MaaS generally takes the form of a platform that allows users to get informed about various means of transportation on certain routes, as well as plan an itinerary, and then book and pay online for the different services used all in a one-stop shop.
