The LATAM MaaS industry is projected to experience a substantial rise in the near future, due to population explosion and rapid urbanization, with surging venture capital investments in the MaaS startup companies.

Mobility as a Service (MaaS) can be defined as the integration of various forms of transport services into a single accessible mobility service on demand. It offers commuters the ease to access mobility services with a single application that provides a single payment channel, mitigating the need for multiple ticketing and payment operations.

A successful MaaS service provides advanced business models and methods to organize and operate various transport options, with benefits such as access to better user and demand information, and new opportunities that cater to the requirement of transport operators.

Bicycle Sharing

The first-mile and last-mile connectivity are the major problems faced by public transport commuters. Bicycle-sharing systems facilitate users to borrow a bicycle for a short duration for a small fee. Over the last few years, the sudden rise in the ‘free-floating’ bicycle sharing systems facilitates users to collect and return bicycles at any location.

Car Sharing

Car sharing is similar to bicycle sharing. It facilitates the subscribers to borrow a car for a specific duration of time, from a few hours to a few days. In most, car sharing services, the users are required to return the borrowed car at the standard location.

The rising investments of the MaaS companies in the LATAM region are projected to increase the accessibility to mobility as a service. In addition, the region offers numerous opportunities for mobility service companies to expand their businesses, with the transformation of mobility as an ecosystem.

Therefore, rapid urbanization fuels the LATAM-based MaaS industry.
