Local communities are home to a growing number of transport choices with citiesbecoming smarter and more inclusive and passengers more demanding. Keolis therefore promotes simple, clear and comprehensive mobility solutions to address these issues. MaaS is an innovative digital service that aggregates all transport options of a local community in a single app, providing passengers with an intelligent, personalised travel companion.
Making shared mobility easier and more accessible with MaaS
Drawing on its proven expertise in the design and operation of global efficient mobility offers, Keolis provides public transport authorities with mobility solutions tailored to the needs of their local community.
As transport options expand, so does the opportunity to enhance the vitality of local communities and MaaS (Mobility as a Service) is proving to be a key accelerator and facilitator.
The aim is to provide passengers with a single interface that incorporates all the offers and necessary features, from a route search combining several transport options to purchasing and validating a ticket, with one customer account. With MaaS, you can adjust your itinerary as you go, checking for the next bus or available bike-share, and have real-time information to guide you, whether you're making an onward connection or dealing with a disruption to your journey.
Supporting the PTAs with made-to-mesure MaaS solutions
Keolis co-constructs MaaS solutions with the PTAs that are tailored to the specificities of each local community. We draw on our understanding of the mobility ecosystem to offer them a broad view of MaaS issues, as well as on our solid experience as an operator-integrator of mobility in all its forms. Our support covers:
· Design and roll-out of an efficient global mobility offer, complete with full integration of public and private mobility services available in the local community.
· The necessary management and coordination between public and private actors to choose technical solutions, create new business models and implement appropriate management over time
· Constructing a tailor-made solution with the best partners and the most modern and robust technological resources, notably by applying the principle of "privacy by design"
· Operating a human and inclusive MaaS service as part of a comprehensive, multi-channel system of marketing and customer relations, which supports shared mobility at the local level by simplifying the passenger experience for everyone
