Mobility as a service (MaaS): A thematic map of challenges and opportunities

Evaluating the public acceptance of sustainable mobility interventions responding to Covid-19: The case of the Great Walk of Athens and the importance of citizen engagement

“…COVID-19, actually brought to the surface underlying design and planning issues ( Shortall et al, 2021 ) that were accumulated by a century-long, one-dimensional, car-centric urban development philosophy ( Nikitas, 2019 ) and provided a short-window of opportunity to make changes that could help imposing a new city travel ethos ( Dingil & Esztergár-Kiss, 2021 ) better aligned with transport decarbonisation practice ( Alyavina et al, 2022 ). Massive motor traffic space allocation with little emphasis on public transit, narrow streets and sidewalks, underwhelming cycling and walking infrastructure and car-dictated regulations were such problems ( Nikitas, Tsigdinos, et al, 2021 ); all of them potentially addressable, to some degree, by Covid-induced street redevelopment projects replacing car traffic lanes with pedestrian zones, cycling routes and bus lanes.…”

Mobility-as-A-Service (Maas): A Latent Class Cluster Analysis to Identify Dutch Vehicle Owners’ Use Intention

“…MaaS applications require the ownership of and familiarity with a smartphone to successfully make use of the system. Alyavina et al (2022) for instance suggest the exclusion of transport users with lower digital literacy could be a potential weakness of MaaS' long term use. The resources an individual has available to use MaaS, i.e.…”

Factors affecting public transport performance due to the COVID-19 outbreak: A worldwide analysis

“…At the same time, active transport-friendly initiatives have been introduced worldwide as an environmentally friendly and social distancing mode of transport, something that reduced PT usage even further ( Kyriakidis et al, 2023 ; Nikitas et al, 2021 ). Unless these initiatives are successfully combined with PT into multimodal networks ( Alyavina et al, 2022 ) or ensure a fair distribution of road space against all other travel modes ( Creutzig et al, 2020 ; Nello-Deakin, 2019 ; Tzamourani et al, 2022 ), they might act as an additional barrier towards urban mobility ecosystems in which PT should operate in tandem with other transport modes.…”
