Smart Mobility Podcast

We're joined by Georgia Yexley from TIER Mobility to talk about the value, which micromobility brings to cities. We take a deeper dive into the big questions surrounding micromobility, including use of data, sustainability, accessibility and inclusion as well as the challenges of scaling and geographically expanding such a complex business model. Georgia is giving her insights to highlight how much collaboration efforts, attention to detail and innovation power is going into every level of the activities, shown by the example of the new service trials in London. It showcases that micromobility can create positive feedback cycles and truly enrich the mobility landscape in cities. 

We're back with a new Episode, for which we're joined by Janez Križan from AMZS . We're talking about the vision for future mobility and how educating travelers and car users about total cost of ownership and alternatives to their current commuting modes is a crucial and often overlooked part of the new mobility puzzle. The road towards sustainable and smart mobility will not be a short one and it is important to take people by the hand in every part of their journey towards consuming mobility as a service. 

We are joined by Dan Podjed, who takes us deeper into the world of Anthropology and explains more how products and services should be designed to be truly people-centric. We discuss the future mobility, which people really need and how the industry can steer the developments to cater to the new needs and priorities of people. 

We are joined by Sandra Witzel, Head of Marketing and Executive Board Member of SkedGo. We are talking about what inclusive and accessible transport really means and entails and explore different projects and examples from around the globe, aiming at exploring and improving accessibility of transport projects.

For this Episode we're joined by Jan Deman, Director of the Busworld Foundation, to go deeper into the topics which are moving the bus and coach industry at the moment. We're discussing the level of digitalization and digital access to information for passengers alongside the path to zero emission and new research about air ventilation systems in buses and coaches in regards to the new importance of health on public transport. We're debating whether the pandemic and the new home office movement has drawn people more towards private cars or public transit and give some outlooks for the upcoming developments in the industry. 

It has become evident throughout the past years that not only urban transport is undergoing drastic changes, but life in cities in general is being re-structured to become people-centric and mobility is an integral part in this process. This means, that cities have to step up and find their new role in coordinating not only public transport but steering an increasingly complex mobility services ecosystem. Proper Governance of innovation is key in making cities successful on the road to our future reality.

Lukas shared his views on the future of Mobility as a Service and in particular explains how in order for the Mobility as a Service movement to grow, it will be important to include privately owned vehicles. Those vehicles still represent the predominant mobility mode in many regions and present a largely untapped potential for the Mobility as a Service segment. However, it is essential to do this properly so that we can keep the societal benefits that are becoming possible with new concepts of consuming mobility.
