Revolutionising Journey Planning with SkedGo
In today’s fast-paced world, efficient and personalised journey planning is essential for modern travellers. Whether commuting to the office, exploring a new city, or simply running errands, passengers expect seamless navigation options to cater to their individual needs and preferences. At UrbanThings, our collaboration with Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) leader SkedGo introduces game-changing journey planning enhancements to redefine the travel experience.
Operator customisation
Operators can now fine-tune their journey plans by excluding rival services, ensuring a streamlined and personalised experience tailored to their passengers’ preferences.
Detailed journeys and tailored preferences
The integration of SkedGo’s advanced journey planning algorithms ensures the delivery of relevant and localised results for passengers. It equips them with more visibility of their journey, allowing them to view intermediate calling points and adjust preferences for walking times and transfers. In addition, passengers can filter modes according to specific preferences. For example, commuters can opt for longer walking times to enjoy a scenic walk or reduce transfers for a more straightforward journey.
Preference-driven engine
SkedGo’s journey planning engine factors in various considerations such as time, cost, sustainability, fitness, and accessibility – ensuring that every journey is optimised for maximum comfort and efficiency. The engine may prioritise walking or cycling routes to promote sustainability, providing information on energy consumption or CO2 emissions. It might also suggest routes with fewer stairs for travellers with accessibility needs.
Multi-modal options
Travel rarely consists of a single mode of transportation. Passengers can effortlessly plan and embark on multi-modal journeys, whether it’s a combination of bus, train, tram, or bike.
Dedicated to simplifying travel for our customers, our collaboration with SkedGo promises to enhance journey planning capabilities significantly, empowering users of our passenger apps. We are already exploring upcoming features within the SkedGo journey planning such as disruption management and seamless ticketing. Our aim remains to transform the navigation and travel experience by prioritising customisation, efficiency, and reliability.
Adam Maher, Account Manager at UrbanThings, commented: “Working with SkedGo allows us to elevate our journey planning offerings, enabling us to empower both urban and rural operators with highly tailored, preference-based journey plans. These changes will streamline the passenger experience and increase visibility into sustainable and convenient travel choices offered by preferred operators“.
Our latest enhancements are already live in our passengers apps. If you’re interested in having your own branded mobile app equipped with these features, please feel free to reach out to us. We’re dedicated to helping cities and operators revolutionise passenger engagement.
