Episode 3: In Search of the MaaS Transit Super-app

The MaaS Alliance defines Mobility as a Service ('MaaS') as “the integration of various forms of transport services into a single mobility service, accessible on demand.”

MaaS may still widely be considered a new concept, but it’s been around for a good decade and a half, and appears to be on the verge of mainstream success.

In this episode, we're joined by MaaS pioneer Sampo Hietanen of Helsinki-headquartered MaaS Global, Pedro Somma of São Paulo-based Quicko, and Tu Le of Sino Auto Insights in Beijing. This wide-ranging discussion ranges from the current state of mobility as a service and the outlook for the mobility super-app, to the role of the automaker, the importance of rural mobility, and the future of the MaaS market.
