Y LEVERAGING BIG DATA, CITIES ARE LOOKING TO REDUCE
congestion, improve travel times and improve air quality.
Th e concept of mobility as a service (MaaS) is about bringing
commuters all the options available in one, easy-to-use platform.
Not only does the integrated service improve the rider experience,
the data can bring crucial information that improves city planning.

At Tao Orléans Métropole, the transport provider in
Orléans, France, passengers can use Keolis’ “Plan Book
Ticket” app, which offers planning, booking, purchasing
fares and validating fares through a smartphone.
The different functions are available for use in on other
networks, but Tao is the first to incorporate all of it.
“Plan” combines all modes to let the commuter pick
the best option. “Book” is an online store connected
to the network’s ticketing system. The app features
the M-ticket payment technology, developed by
Kisio Digital in partnership with Masabi. “Ticket” lets
riders use their smartphone to validate their ticket.
The app is the first to use Masabi’s
JustRide SDK for mobile ticketing.

Leveraging a comprehensive
digital solutions suite that delivers
total control for the transit agency
will help transit get smarter through
data. Commuters can plan their trip,
select a route, pay for a ticket and
board with the mobile app and all
of the information is integrated into
the reporting with Genfare Link.

Multi-Modal Trip Planning
Go Denver lets commuters
look at trip planning with
various mode options and the
accompanying carbon footprint
of the journey. While there is no
single technology — yet — that
can integrate the fare payment and
collection, that is the next step.
