All you need to know about mobility as a service


Today we are living in the digital age where accessing various services on our fingertips has become a new normal.

Few years back, to even think of it seemed to be a flight of fantasy. But now with the on-demand services, we are ordering food, booking cabs, making hotel room reservations, shopping online, and many more.




These services have set a new bar as far as the convenience of the customer is concerned. With food delivery apps we don’t need to go to restaurants anymore.

With eCommerce apps, we don’t need to go to the shopping malls. Similarly, what if we don’t need to own a car for commuting?

Seems unlikely? Maybe now but not in the future. Mobility as a service (MaaS) may end our need of owning a car. Let me explain this to you with an example.

Just imagine that you’re a huge Christopher Nolan fan and have all his movies on your laptop which occupies a fair amount of space.

What if you can watch all those movies online on a streaming platform? Sounds better right. For this, all you would need is a sound internet connection and subscription of that streaming platform.

And why only Christopher Nolan movies, the platform will offer you with a lucrative mix of sitcoms, fantasy drama, and insightful documentaries. I think most of us will choose the streaming platform as it’s a smarter option.

MaaS is a streaming platform equivalent in transportation that provides you with a mixture of all the transportation services on-demand making the need of owning a car unviable.

That’s the reason why it is often referred to as the Netflix of transportation. Now, let’s understand what MaaS is all about.
