MaaS is a digital platform that has 3 key ingredients: plan a trip, book the trip on 1 or more modes, and pay for the trip.
It can use different brands and vehicles in different markets. It can be pay-as-you-go or subscription.
High-occupancy transit should be a primary feature in urbanized areas. Think of it as the trunk of the mobility tree, with other modes as the branches. Out in the rural areas, on-demand transit will be the primary feature.
Who is the rightful owner of the digital platform that makes these customer dreams a reality?
