Mobility-as-a-Service platforms
Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) replaces vehicle ownership with on-demand access to the right mode at the right time — public transit, ride-hailing, taxi, micro-mobility, car-share, shuttle, intercity rail and air — all orchestrated through a single digital platform with one identity, one wallet, one journey and one receipt. Industry analysts size the MaaS market across a wide range — from USD 5 billion to over USD 200 billion in 2024 depending on definitional scope — but converge on double-digit CAGR through 2030 and on the same operating reality: cities, transport authorities and mobility operators that fail to platformise will be displaced by those that do. alticdigital builds, scales and operates these platforms — under regulator-grade controls and PCI-DSS, GDPR and DPDP compliance.
Building the MaaS platform
Multi-Modal Journey Planning and Routing Engine
A unified journey planner that ingests live feeds from rail, bus, metro, ride-hailing, micro-mobility and walking networks; computes door-to-door multi-modal routes with real-time delay, weather and price awareness; supports preference-based optimisation (fastest, cheapest, greenest, most accessible); and exposes APIs for third-party apps, OEMs and city portals.

Unified Wallet, Payment and Subscription Platform
PCI-DSS-compliant payment orchestration across single-trip, pay-as-you-go, daily caps, monthly passes and mobility-bundle subscriptions; multi-currency, multi-language and tokenised payment instruments; automated revenue settlement between operators with full audit trail; loyalty and rewards engine; integration with Open Banking, BNPL, UPI, NFC and tokenised contactless rails.

Identity, Trust and Verifiable Credentials
Single-sign-on across mobility services; identity verification through eKYC, digital driving licence, age and disability credentials; verifiable credentials issued under W3C standards and ISO mobile-driving-licence frameworks; consent-managed data sharing across operators; trust framework aligned to GDPR, DPDP, eIDAS and similar regimes.

Operator Onboarding and Marketplace
Self-service onboarding for ride-hailing operators, micro-mobility providers, shuttle and on-demand operators; standardised API contracts (GTFS, GTFS-Realtime, MDS, TOMP-API, NeTEx, SIRI); SLA monitoring and operator scorecards; commercial settlement engine; data-sharing governance; sandbox and production environments for rapid integration.

Demand-Side AI Personalisation and Nudges
AI-personalised journey recommendations based on past behaviour, time-of-day, weather and price sensitivity; behavioural nudges to shift demand to public transport, off-peak or shared modes; subscription up-sell engines; churn prediction; CSAT and NPS analytics; A/B-testing framework for journey and pricing experiments.

Benefits, value and beneficiaries
Single-app journey experience; double-digit mode-share shift from private cars to public and shared transport; meaningfully higher utilisation of subsidised public transit; transparent revenue settlement across operators; faster operator onboarding (weeks not quarters); GDPR / DPDP-grade data governance demonstrably operating.
Transport authorities meet decarbonisation and modal-share targets; private operators capture wallet share and increase per-rider revenue; cities improve congestion, equity and accessibility outcomes; insurance, financial services and energy partners gain new monetisation rails via mobility data; citizens save time, money and cognitive load.

Customer Challenges and the Need to Act
MaaS is not an app — it is an operating system for the city
Most failed MaaS pilots treat the problem as a UX exercise — build a beautiful app and hope operators integrate. The successful ones treat it as a platform exercise — build a regulator-acceptable trust layer, a fair settlement engine, a standards-compliant integration backbone and an AI personalisation layer, and the apps follow. alticdigital builds the platform first. The app is the consequence, not the strategy.
