Urban transport is a key factor in the economic, cultural and productive development of any society. However, today's road networks are burdened with a much larger volume of traffic as they were designed to serve earlier societies. In order to meet the new travel needs, it is necessary to implement new methods and systems that not only respond to the new challenges and needs but also provide travelers with sustainable travel solutions.
Mobility as a Service (MaaS) aims in this direction by ensuring the cooperation of different mobility providers by integrating all public transport modes with sharing and pooling services (e.g. carsharing, carpooling) and various means of micro-mobility (e.g. e-scooter, e-bike) as well as subscriptions and travel pack-ages to meet and serve every need of citizens. The investigation of the acceptance of Mobility as a Service by the residents of Patras through a questionnaire survey showed that most of them, although they understand the benefits of implementing this platform, are quite reluctant to adopt it.
This paper is about investigating the acceptance of Mobility as a Service by the residents of Patras through a questionnaire survey. A great number of the people who participated in this questionnaire prefer to make their transfer by private car, by their own time and comfort. Therefore, for this implementation of such a needed mobility platform to make sense, it is necessary both to keep the residents in Patras informed about the innovative technological developments and to upgrade the infrastructure. Mainly to change the public transport in Patras in order to make it more accessible and efficient for its inhabitants.
