"A reservation I have is that presumably no travel app will improve the actual services": Place based perspectives of mobility as a service
Abstract
Asynchronous online focus groups held with 146 participants giving their views on Mobility as a Service. Thematic analysis results considered in terms of home location: urban, peri-urban, and rural. Accurate, reliable information is a core requirement of any MaaS app, regardless of a person's home location. Urban residents could benefit from extra information, but rural residents need novel mobility solutions. Peri-urban residents are a key target group, with MaaS having the potential to influence attitudes to non-car travel.
