In 2007 half the world’s population
lived in cities; by 2050 it is expected that two-thirds will.
According to Arthur D . Little, a consultancy, urban journeys
already account for nearly two-thirds of all kilometres
travelled by people. On current trends urban distance travelled
each year will have trebled by 2050, and the average time urban
drivers spend languishing in traffic jams is set to double to
106 hours a year.
The traditional policy responses to
congestion —build more roads and expand public transport—
are too
expensive for these cash-strapped times. Hence, the appeal to
urban planners of the idea of travellers combining existing
mass-transit schemes with a growing variety of private mobility
services. It offers a way to attract private capital into public
transport. By enabling a closer link between supply and demand
it will make mass transport more efficient. Congestion at peak
hours will fall as travellers are diverted from crowded routes
to less packed ones; varying prices by time of day could help
here too.
As well as commuters’ lives, cities
will also be transformed. With fewer cars and parking spaces
needed, they can be redesigned to be more pedestrian-friendly
and to have more green spaces. Quicker journeys will increase
the catchment area for job-seekers prepared to travel to work.
There is uncertainty as to how the
MaaS marketplace will develop; MaaS offerings may take many
forms and be marketed to different types of customer. Providing
mobility using MaaS may result in consumers deciding they no
longer need to own a car. It may also have other consequences,
such as increasing the number of journeys or leading to
mode-shift away from public transport. This
symposium will show
what MaaS could look like from the perspective of the customer.
It then identifies the stakeholders that are needed to deliver
it and the benefits that MaaS could provide to different
stakeholders.
MaaS offers an opportunity to improve how people and goods move, both from the perspective of the policy maker and from the travellers themselves.
