Reviews

Mobility-as-a-Service can make a decisive contribution to improving the traffic situation in many megacities. MaaS concepts are already being tested in numerous Chinese cities. We are on the threshold of implementation. This book vividly illustrates the idea, concepts and implications around Mobility-as-a-Service, making an important contribution to better mobility - for cities, for people, for the environment. -- Prof. Dr. Zheng Han, Chair of Innovation and Entrepreneurship, Sino-German School for Postgraduate Studies (CDHK), School of Economics and Management, Tongji University, Shanghai. Mobility-as-a-Service is an opportunity to completely rethink our cities. Roads and parking lots can be repurposed or deconstructed and used for living spaces, playgrounds or denser mixed-use development and affordable housing. This book describes numerous approaches so that in the future we build our cities around people and not cars. -- Gabe Klein, Founding Partner of Cityfi, Venture Partner at Fontinalis Partners, and former Commissioner of the Chicago and Washington DC Departments of Transportation.
