Invest in the Future of Mobility: Opportunities Offered by MaaS Platforms

As cities grow and transport needs evolve, traditional public systems and car ownership often fall short. Mobility as a Service (MaaS) offers a smarter, more flexible way to move people by combining buses, bikes, scooters, and taxis into one digital platform.

For investors and innovators, MaaS is more than just tech – it’s a practical solution to urban congestion, emissions, and changing lifestyles. Backed by demand for sustainable and integrated mobility, the sector is growing fast. It also opens up new opportunities for collaboration between private providers, municipalities, and infrastructure planners.

What is MaaS?

MaaS integrates different transport options into one app. Users plan, book, and pay for trips easily – combining modes like scooters, buses, and car shares. Some platforms also connect to public transit schedules, offering full journey planning.

At its core, MaaS focuses on convenience and sustainability. It encourages people to use shared transport instead of owning a car. This shift can reduce traffic, free up urban space, and lower individual costs.

Why MaaS matters for investors

1. Urban demand & policy support

Cities are expanding. Pollution is rising. People want quick, green alternatives. MaaS offers that by simplifying access to shared transport.

Policies across Europe and beyond are also backing digital transport integration, opening the door for private platforms. From grants to pilot programs, cities are incentivizing innovation in mobility.

2. Real market growth

MaaS isn’t theory – it’s already live in many cities. The global market is expected to keep growing as public and private sectors invest. The rise of mobility hubs, digital infrastructure, and data sharing only adds to the momentum.

Key business models

MaaS platforms use different approaches depending on who runs them:

• B2C: Direct to riders via an app. Earn from trip fees or subscriptions.
• B2B/B2G: White-label platforms for cities or operators. Clients pay setup and monthly fees.
• Aggregator: Apps that link many services through APIs. These platforms rely on partnerships with local and global mobility providers.

ATOM Mobility offers mobility as a service software that supports all of these use cases.
