Iomob is to upgrade an app provided by Brightline Trains with journey planning capabilities to enable a multimodal door to door travel service in Florida.

The app is expected to eliminate the gaps created by the first and last miles, allowing users to travel from their front door to a Brightline station and then on to a final destination.

Mobility options can include public transit, bikes, electric scooters, ride-share and on-demand shuttles. Users who arrive at a station with the own vehicle can pre-book and pay for their parking through the app. 

Brightline president Patrick Goddard says: “Offering door to door connectivity will make Brightline more convenient for our guests and make our stations more accessible to those seeking the best transportation option in Florida.”

Iomob CEO Boyd Cohen says: “The strength of Iomob’s open mobility approach is that it is easily scalable and can be customisable to fit the needs of our clients across the US.”
