“Rise of Integrated Multimodal Transport Platforms”
- A key trend in the maas market is the growing implementation of integrated platforms that combine various modes of transportation—public transit, ride-sharing, micro-mobility (e-scooters, bikes), and car rentals—into a single digital interface
- This shift is being driven by increasing consumer demand for convenience, real-time updates, and flexible travel options, particularly in urban centers
- For instance, in June 2024, Moovit expanded its global MaaS app by integrating new micro-mobility and paratransit services, allowing users to plan and pay for entire journeys across different transport modes through one platform
- Municipalities and private players are collaborating to streamline ticketing, routing, and pricing into unified systems that improve urban mobility efficiency and accessibility
- This trend is enabling a shift away from private car ownership, reducing congestion and emissions while enhancing mobility equity and digital engagement
