If there’s one thing the majority of us have done at least once in recent months, it has been accessing something on demand. The convenience of such services has always been obvious, but their appeal probably never more so than right now.

Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) is another form of on demand that will fundamentally alter the way we move in years to come. Bringing an integrated transportation network to the travelling public has long been the goal.

Is Utopia a total journey running when you want to make it even if that want has cropped up just seconds before you start your journey?
