“…MaaS was initially conceived for urban areas (Heikkilä 2014), with further developments in less-densely and rural areas (Eckardt et al 2018, Barreto et al 2018, thus the natural arena where to launch a study on the MaaS potential in Italy was a set of metropolitan areas (Turin, Rome and Genoa), different enough to run the whole gamut of mobility options and behaviours typical at national level. The three cities have a similar demographic structure (Figure 1), and a GDP trend classified as "low" for the 2000-2018 period by OECD (2020), although they can be considered wealthy areas if compared to other Italian cities.…”

“…Meanwhile, among these adopters, the majority of them are expected to use public transit more often (Hasselwander et al, 2022). Apart from the urban area, the suburban and rural areas have a great potential in adopting MaaS (Barreto et al, 2018a; Eckhardt et al, 2018; Hasselwander et al, 2022; Jittrapirom et al, 2020; Qiao and Yeh, 2021) for better access to public transit. Third, in the real-world practice and stakeholder’s opinion, a city with a highly developed public transit system is more likely to have the modal shift to MaaS (Roumboutsos et al, 2021).…”

“…Based on this, the types of services and the functions provided by MaaS vary highly depending on the infrastructure conditions of the implemented city and the needs of society. For instance, scholars raised widespread concerns about MaaS implementations in rural areas (Barreto et al, 2018a; Eckhardt et al, 2018; Liu et al, 2020) and explored substantial obstacles faced by developing countries (Hasselwander et al, 2022).…”

The debate about how Mobility as a Service (MaaS) will revolutionize individual and collective mobility is gaining increasing attention from researchers, industries, and public sectors. MaaS is expected to create a techno-utopia with a new organization and operation of transport systems where residents have equal access to instant and ubiquitous mobility services. However, transport service is an artifact that is highly dependent on the construction of urban infrastructure. The success of MaaS requires the support of urban infrastructure that we categorize as (1) transport-flow infrastructure, (2) information-flow infrastructure, and (3) computing-flow infrastructure. The connotation of urban infrastructure here includes not only conventional concepts, such as transportation infrastructure, but also intelligent transportation concepts, such as high-speed communication networks and autonomous fleets. Moreover, travel behavior data collected by city sensors, communication networks, and intelligent vehicles require appropriate infrastructures to dynamically compute for fleet dispatch and demand-supply match. Based on the degree of integration of these infrastructures, MaaS projects will have different results in varying cities. From concept to practice, given that a vast disparity in infrastructure exists between cities, we need an inclusive, mobile, and global understanding of the MaaS concept to make it successful in different parts of the world.

“…Three Italian metropolitan areas (Turin, Rome, and Genoa) were chosen for this study on MaaS potential, coherently with the original concept of MaaS as an ecosystem for urban areas [16], although studies on less dense and rural areas are available [17,18]. The selection criterion of the three metropolitan areas relied on their being different enough to cover the major mobility options and behaviors, to be representative of the national situation.…”

Making all types of public and private transport services available to users through a single and integrated digital platform is the new urban mobility paradigm called Mobility as a Service (MaaS). This scheme allows both a more sustainable urban transportation system and a more efficient transport service for users. For MaaS to be successful, its implementation should adapt to the specific features of the location covered by the service. The city maturity level has to be considered in terms of multimodality, infrastructures, regulations, user goals, and user willingness to use and pay for MaaS services. This paper discusses and analyses the results of a survey on MaaS conducted in three Italian metropolitan areas: Turin, Rome, and Genoa, which have very different and specific characteristics. The comparative analysis enables the definition of drivers, obstacles, and requisites for MaaS implementation to be successful. When it comes to cities with conservative mobility policies or cities that are new to MaaS experiences, resistance to adoption of the service might occur. The results of the research discussed in this paper can be a useful resource to enable decision makers to develop more effective and efficient transportation policies.
