Transport technology provider UrbanThings and Mobility-as-a-Service specialist SkedGo have announced a partnership which the businesses say will develop “preference-based journey planning with a sustainability focus”.
The collaboration will use both SkedGo’s expertise in journey planning and routing and UrbanThings experience in ticketing and real-time information to give public transport-users advanced itinerary options.
Guy Sutherland, Head of Bids and Partnerships at UrbanThings, says: “Working with SkedGo will supercharge our journey planning offering.
“This enhancement will allow us to provide much more sophisticated preference-based journey plans to simplify the customer experience and improve the visibility of how their preferred operators can provide a sustainable and convenient travel choice with a journey that suits them.
“I’m really excited to see the real everyday benefits passengers will feel from this partnership.”
Joshua Biondi, Business Development Manager Europe at SkedGo, adds: “Our collaboration with UrbanThings is a testament to the empowering relationship between account-based ticketing and advanced journey planning capabilities.
“We bring our respective expertise and technology together within a seamlessly integrated solution, to create a best-in-class plan, book and pay mobility experience.
“This will empower users to make more informed and ultimately more sustainable travel decisions and reflects our own commitment to sustainable transport.”
