Multimodal Digital Mobility Services (MDMS) are defined as “systems providing information about the location of transport facilities, schedules, availability and fares, of more than one transport provider, to make reservations, payments or issue tickets”. Public transport (PT) is the backbone of a multimodal transport network and although, several MDMS solutions exist, few of them consider the traveller needs at disaggregated level, while public transport predictive data are not integrated within provided services. In addition, the Mobility as a Right (MaaR) concept that may be considered the keystone of an inclusive multimodal transport network is barely covered in literature. The MaaR concept is omitted in the majority of the MDMS and MaaS definitions, and little attention is given on incorporating it in innovative measures. This study builds on the principles of MDMS and MaaR to develop a conceptual framework for forming MDMS- and MaaR - based public transport measures to support the transition to a user-friendly multimodal transport network. To set the foundations for a structured discussion on the scarcely studied terms, first the definitions of MaaS, MDMS and MaaR are explored, to highlight key aspects and determine the potential relationship among them.
