Welcome ‘Is the world ready for Mobility as a Service
(MaaS)? Certainly experts in the transport
industry are becoming used to talking it up. The
idea first started to take hold around the same
time Uber began revolutionizing taxis. The app
was so slick and it soon became apparent that the
concept could be taken further. If you can hail a
cab with your smartphone, why not book a train
ticket? Or a hire car? Or unlock a shared bicycle?
And if you can do all these things with one app,
then why not, instead of paying individual
operators for each trip, pay a one-off monthly
subscription? A subscription to a service that,
if efficient enough, could make private car
ownership a needless luxury. If MaaS really can
replace private car ownership, then the efficiency
gains will create a world where mobility
providers make more money, while individuals
actually pay a lot less to have all their
transportation expectations met, and perhaps
even exceeded. It’s a bold dream. The ultimate
win-win situation that harnesses the power
of connectivity, smart devices and the sharing
economy in perhaps the most powerful way
society has yet seen. It could be the defining
technological change of the next 20 years. So
where do we start? Right here.
In this magazine we take a look at how MaaS
pioneers in Mexico City (p28) and Amsterdam
(p36) are laying the foundations that will form
the basis for this shared mobility revolution.
The contrasts between the two locations are stark,
with Mexico in the much earlier stages. But the
ultimate aims are the same, and the contrasting
challenges prove that, wherever you are in the
world, it’s possible to begin to prepare for the
changes that could soon be coming.
Of course, MaaS is not something that is going
to happen in isolation. By its very nature it relies
on the interconnected nature of transport
infrastructure, ticketing and traffic management –
and bringing each of those elements even closer
together. This is also where Intertraffic World
magazine, and Intertraffic shows, can help. In
the exclusive features in the front half of this
magazine you’ll find other relevant topics such
as autonomous vehicles, data sharing and smart
traffic management, and in the second half you’ll
find plenty of the leading suppliers from across
the industry showcasing the innovations that
will become part of our new mobility landscape.
With MaaS, as with all big ideas, there are
no guarantees that its potential benefits will
ever be fully realized. But it’s clear the potential
is there. And we owe it to ourselves, and future
generations, to do our best to realize the dream.
