The concept of mobility on demand (MoD) is disrupting and transforming the transportation sector, which traditionally has relied on fixed schedule mass transits. The growing traction of MoD has likewise encouraged the proliferation of Mobility as a Service (Maas).
What is MaaS?
MaaS is a digital platform that combines different forms of transport and transport-related services into a single, on-demand mobility service. MaaS is able to integrate a diverse menu of transport options, including public transport, microtransit, ride-sharing, and micro mobility. With MaaS, a single application is able to handle planning, booking, and payment in one place.
Benefits of MaaS
For the Riders:
- Easy to Use: commuters are increasingly dependent on their smartphones and MaaS makes all your transportation needs available on your smartphone
- Options: provides various transport options so commuters can plan the most efficient and seamless commute
- Improves planning: digital algorithms are superior to analog mental calculation in terms of suggesting the best transportation option to get from point A to point B
- Enables flexibility: riders are assured that they can reach their destination any time of the day
- Reduces hassle because everything is in a single application, there’s no need for multiple ticketing or payment
For Transport Operators
- The application stores data which provides data on demand information and customer need
- Key metrics allow operators to track, check, and control your fleets, thus boosting asset management
- Helps transportation providers optimize their fleet usage because the software’s algorithm can bundle multiple requests allowing passengers to share rides
- Relevant data offers insights that prevent inaccuracies, save costs, and assists in making informed predictions and plans
Why MaaS now?
The future of transportation is digitization and MoD. The private and public sector are racing to find the best MoD solution. MaaS is among the solutions to make MoD convenient, effective, and available. However, not all software is created equal and choosing the right mobility platform is paramount.
