The inefficiencies in transport with Marie Kress, Voyego

Because of the pandemic many of us are driving less, taking less public transport, but we’re walking and cycling a lot more. But when lockdown lifts, offices and shops and other services reopen it is likely we’ll either slip back into old habits or have a changed outlook on how we get around. This will lead to MaaS (Mobility as a Service) becoming more prevelant. Ronan talks to Marie Kress, Product Owner at Voyego which is part of Endava and a trusted provider of software solutions for the airline and ground mobility industries..

Marie Kress talks about her background, MaaS, the infrastructure that MaaS requires, Google Maps MaaS integration, data sharing, how cities can play a vital role, finding good solutions to make more transport options accessible and a credible alternative to privately owned cars. Marie also talks about how the pandemic has impacted MaaS, the future of urban airspace and how transport will be more environmentally friendly
