Evaluation

This single app can be used for trains, taxis and shared bikes. The payment for fares and costs is settled through the app and it offers a subscription for residents and commuters. All-inclusive and seamless, this app completely eliminates the hassle of getting around, making a dream come true. We also admire the behind-the-scene story in which it took 10 years for the young engineer to put his idea into shape and fuel the MaaS platform that has become the standard in mobility.
