Mass Transit & MaaS

Intertraffic is launching a series of free webinars examining the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on mobility. 

Micromobility firm Lime is providing free 30-minute rides on its scooters in some cities until 15 May for people doing essential jobs.

Ride-sharing company Lyft is offering free rides in the US to caregivers of homebound older adults during the Covid-19 crisis.

Revenue generated by Mobility as a Service (MaaS) will exceed $52 billion by 2027, according to new findings from Juniper Research.

The US Department of Transportation (USDoT) is rolling out $25 billion in funding for public transit services, which have been hit hard by Covid-19.

Keeping public transport services going during the coronavirus pandemic has resulted in a startling death toll among essential workers such as train and bus drivers.

The sacrifices made by transit workers during the coronavirus pandemic are proof that ridership alone is not a good enough measure of public transport’s value to society.

Industry added to crucial list after letter from the Transportation Alliance.

UITP says that passenger transport must not be interrupted by the Covid-19 pandemic, to ensure that "the health crisis does not turn into a social one".

As the ITS industry worldwide comes to terms with the impact of the coronavirus pandemic, companies are finding positive ways to respond.
