Mobility as a service (MaaS): A thematic map of challenges and opportunities

Factors affecting public transport performance due to the COVID-19 outbreak: A worldwide analysis

“…At the same time, active transport-friendly initiatives have been introduced worldwide as an environmentally friendly and social distancing mode of transport, something that reduced PT usage even further ( Kyriakidis et al, 2023 ; Nikitas et al, 2021 ). Unless these initiatives are successfully combined with PT into multimodal networks ( Alyavina et al, 2022 ) or ensure a fair distribution of road space against all other travel modes ( Creutzig et al, 2020 ; Nello-Deakin, 2019 ; Tzamourani et al, 2022 ), they might act as an additional barrier towards urban mobility ecosystems in which PT should operate in tandem with other transport modes.…”

Evaluating the public acceptance of sustainable mobility interventions responding to Covid-19: The case of the Great Walk of Athens and the importance of citizen engagement

“…COVID-19, actually brought to the surface underlying design and planning issues ( Shortall et al, 2021 ) that were accumulated by a century-long, one-dimensional, car-centric urban development philosophy ( Nikitas, 2019 ) and provided a short-window of opportunity to make changes that could help imposing a new city travel ethos ( Dingil & Esztergár-Kiss, 2021 ) better aligned with transport decarbonisation practice ( Alyavina et al, 2022 ). Massive motor traffic space allocation with little emphasis on public transit, narrow streets and sidewalks, underwhelming cycling and walking infrastructure and car-dictated regulations were such problems ( Nikitas, Tsigdinos, et al, 2021 ); all of them potentially addressable, to some degree, by Covid-induced street redevelopment projects replacing car traffic lanes with pedestrian zones, cycling routes and bus lanes.…”

Mobility-as-A-Service (Maas): A Latent Class Cluster Analysis to Identify Dutch Vehicle Owners’ Use Intention

“…MaaS applications require the ownership of and familiarity with a smartphone to successfully make use of the system. Alyavina et al (2022) for instance suggest the exclusion of transport users with lower digital literacy could be a potential weakness of MaaS' long term use. The resources an individual has available to use MaaS, i.e.…”
