Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) provider, Moovit has partnered with May Mobility to accelerate the use of shared autonomous vehicles (AVs) in public transport networks.
Through this partnership, May Mobility’s autonomous vehicle fleets will be integrated into Moovit’s urban mobility app and on-demand routing software. This will allow riders to plan, pay and ride in shared AVs using Moovit’s platform.
Nir Erez, Co-founder and CEO of Moovit, said:The combination of Moovit and May Mobility’s technologies, products, and services will provide communities around the world with more mobility alternatives to choose from. We share a vision of filling in the gaps in public and shared autonomous transportation and will work diligently to provide better access to accessible and sustainable transportation.
Moovit’s urban mobility app is currently available in 3,500 cities to help users plan multimodal trips.
Meanwhile, May Mobility has provided more than 320,000 autonomously-enabled rides in the last five years.
The collaboration between the two companies will now extend these services to more cities around the world, presenting users with the option of taking May Mobility AVs alongside other modes of transit.
Edwin Olson, Co-founder and CEO of May Mobility, said:A big part of our go-to-market strategy is to partner with industry leaders that will take out services to the next level. Moovit is a trusted industry leader that serves more than 1.7 billion riders globally, and their services and relationships will further enhance our ability to scale. We look forward to growing this partnership with Moovit through expanded geographic areas and leveraging each other’s strengths to serve all passengers.
