“…(1) Respondents choose among different MaaS bundles (e.g., [25]) (2) Respondents choose between the current travel pattern and one or more MaaS bundles (e.g., [29]) (3) Respondents choose between MaaS bundles and standalone subscriptions (e.g., [32]) (4) Respondents build their own MaaS bundle (e.g., [33]) is led to somewhat contradictory results in certain cases (e.g., Guidon et al [32] found a positive willingness to pay for a MaaS bundle with car sharing, whereas Matyas and Kamargianni [27] found negative preferences for MaaS bundles that included this service), and several papers (e.g., [25,36]) highlighted the need for further studies to confirm/ extend their findings. Furthermore, all of the above-discussed works dealt with case studies that considered entire nations or large urban areas.…”

Given the benefits both individuals and collectivity have achieved over the past few years thanks to Mobility-as-Service (MaaS) systems, various studies were conducted to predict the level of acceptance of MaaS bundles from different territorial scales and in different countries. Results obtained are in some cases contradictory. Literature is lacking in the study of small-to-medium-sized urban contexts and in the effects of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. This paper aims to understand (1) what factors influence respondents’ preferences between their usual transportation means and a possible MaaS alternative and (2) what leads a user to prefer one MaaS bundle to another. A logistic regression and a mixed logit model were developed to reach the two aims, respectively. These models were calibrated using questionnaires administered to employees of the Municipality of Padua, a medium-sized city in Italy. Aspects concerning the perception of health safety in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic were included in the analyses. In 37% of the cases, users stated they would be willing to adopt at least one of the proposed MaaS bundles. The results suggest that MaaS solutions can be a useful tool for managing mobility even in medium-sized cities, provided users’ biosecurity concerns are addressed by appropriate countermeasures.

“…Thus, different services must be collaborated and cooperated, customized to the specific city context (Barreto et al, 2020). Otherwise, MaaS operators may compel occasional public transit users toward the use of less sustainable but more expensive transport modes, particularly under a private pushed MaaS development (Hasselwander et al, 2022), which violates the original intention of MaaS.…”

“…Research showed that the current users of public transport are the most likely adopters of MaaS (Jittrapirom et al, 2020; Zijlstra et al, 2020). 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.

The transport sector is the second most important source of emissions in the EU. It is paramount to act now towards the decarbonisation of our transport system to mitigate climate change effects. Waiting for future technological advancements to minimise the existing anthropogenic emissions and dramatically boost its sustainability is risky for human survival. The current chapter highlights how the path towards a sustainable transport system is a whole stakeholders’ effort involving the mass deployment of available technology, changing user behaviours, data-driven legislation, and researching and developing future disruptive technologies. The author analyses and classifies the available data on various transport modals and assesses the impact of the technologies and policy measures in terms of potential reduction of carbon emissions, challenges, and opportunities. It also exemplifies outstanding test settings across the world on how already available technologies have contributed to the development of a lower-carbon transport setting. The chapter considers developing countries’ economic and infrastructural challenges in upgrading to a low-carbon transport system and the lack of data-driven decisions and stakeholders’ engagement measures in addressing the sector sustainability challenges. It also emphasised how a sustainable transport system should lay the foundation on data harmonisation and interoperability to accelerate innovation and promote a fast route for deploying new and more effective policies.
