ABSTRACT
The continuous growth of urban areas and their population dictates solutions that improve the citizens' mobility and encourage the adoption of environmentally friendly means of transport. The new mobility services include vehicle sharing, and advanced transport services and payment methods through integrated platforms – the so-called mobility as a service approach (MaaS). Various smartphone applications aim to facilitate and simplify this mobility. This work reviews several mobile transit applications and projects for sustainable urban mobility, which have been selected based on their popularity, innovation, and committed support. The review has been implemented from the perspective of two dimensions: type of service - including the MaaS scheme and provision of incentives for changing travel behavior. At the same time, gaps in the design have been identified, and likely improvements and adjustments have been proposed to maximize the capability to integrate applications and widely use them in the traveler's daily life.
