Cubic has chosen SkedGo to power its Umo mobility app, which is used by transport agencies across North America and Chile.
Umo offers riders the ability to plan, book and pay for multiple transport options - from buses to car-share - alongside shared micromobility services such as e-scooters.
The app will use SkedGo’s software development kit and application programming interface. "For Cubic to recognise SkedGo has the scalability and speed to deliver a world-class routing solution is a real honour," says John Nuutinen, CEO of SkedGo.
Umo integrates fares, live bus and train times, journey planning and contactless payments all in a single mobile app - with routes planned by criteria such as: speed, accessibility, health benefits, cost or reduced carbon emissions.
"If we’re serious about getting North America to ditch the car then we need to make door-to-door travel more convenient and stress-free, with public and shared transport available at the click of a button," Nuutinen continues.
"Together, we will set a new standard for what’s possible in journey planning. As Cubic rolls out the next generation of mobility tech, they needed a responsive and flexible partner to build an optimised user experience that’s truly inclusive."
