In its 2018 Programme for Government, the Scottish Government committed to a £2 million investment fund, 从2019- 2020年起的三年内, to support the testing of the Mobility as a Service (MaaS) concept in Scotland. This concept has the potential to transform the way we use transport – making public and shared transport options as desirable as owning our own car.
其核心是, MaaS将为人们提供方便, digital access to travel information, allowing them to make more informed decisions on journey choices. This includes solutions to gather personalised travel requirements into a single travel app for example, or perhaps a service to allow unlimited access to multiple transport providers via a monthly user fee.
MaaS has the potential to support the Scottish Government agenda for a healthier, 更可持续的博天堂入口. By providing integrated and more comprehensive travel information, these services can empower people to use alternative travel methods, encouraging them out of cars and private car ownership, and in doing so reduce both carbon emissions and congestion.
