Public transport inquiry to take evidence on ‘Mobility as a Service’ technology
Monday 7 March 2022
On Tuesday 8 March 2022, the House of Lords Built Environment Committee will take evidence on how data can help improve transport and the development of ‘Mobility as a Service’ (MaaS) technology.
This session is part of the Committee’s inquiry on public transport in towns and cities.
At 10am the Committee will hear from:
- Professor Susan Grant-Muller, Institute for Transport, University of Leeds
- Sampo Hietanen, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, MaaS Global
- Martin Howell, Transport Markets Director, Worldline UK.
This evidence session will be streamed on Parliament TV.
Questions the Committee is likely to ask include:
- How could the use of data deliver better integration and connectivity across public transport modes in urban areas outside London? How could data innovation help transport services meet consumer demand?
- How might trends towards greater connectivity and Mobility as a Service shift public transport travel patterns over the next 10 years?
- What are the potential opportunities provided by greater data sharing and transport apps? What are the barriers to providing more integration through data?
- What is the relationship between Mobility as a Service apps and public transport operators?
- What are the challenges in regulating transport apps? How should public policy be shaped to adapt to these innovations?
