6546 Keolis has launched its digital solution for multimodal mobility, the HelloGo app in Utrecht, the Netherlands. It is a dematerialized and integrated single application that combines all modes of transport – train, bus, taxi, car rental and car pool and is designed with the intention of simplifying journeys for the City’s inhabitants.

Through the application, users can refine searches according whether they prefer to use public transport, a car or use a mode that creates less pollution.

The app is also intended to be deployed in other cities in the Netherlands and other countries in Europe where Keolis operates.

HelloGo is developed with the same strategic approach as the PlanBookTicket which has launched on several networks in France which integrates planning, purchase and validation of the ticket onto a smartphone.
