Mobility as a Service (MaaS) is expected to significantly change mobility patterns, yet it is still not clear who will embrace this new mobility paradigm and how MaaS will impact passengers' transportation. In the paper, we identify factors relevant for MaaS adoption based on a survey comprised of over thousand respondents in the Netherlands. We find five clusters in relation to individuals' inclinations to adopt MaaS in the context of urban mobility. We characterize each of the clusters, allowing for the examining of different customer segments regarding MaaS. The cluster with the highest inclination for future MaaS adoption is also the largest cluster (representing one third of respondents). Individuals in this cluster have multimodal weekly mobility patterns. On the contrary, current unimodal car users are the least likely to adopt MaaS. We identify high (mobility) ownership need and low technology adoption (present in three of the five clusters) as the main barriers that can hinder MaaS adoption. Policies that directly address these two barriers can stimulate MaaS adoption. Service (MaaS) is emerging. MaaS is a service offered to the user in a single mobile app platform, which integrates all aspects of the travel experience, including booking, payment, and information both before and during the trip (Jittrapirom et al., (2017) and Kamargianni et al. (2016) provide an overview of early MaaS schemes). In essence, MaaS brings an individual from A to B regardless of the mode. In dense urban settings in which congestion, liveability and parking space are high on the urban mobility agenda, a robust public transport system would ideally constitute the core of MaaS, with the new on-demand modes acting as first/last mile solutions or to complement public transport for trips for which it does not provide a convenient service (Li and Voege, 2017). The transport integration that has for long been considered a precondition to reduce car use in favour of public transport (Chowdhury and Ceder,
