    Brussels has introduced a single app that consolidates all local mobility services, making Floya a valuable tool for your next visit to the Belgian capital.

    Floya, the latest mobile app from the city of Brussels, is designed to cater to the needs of both residents and tourists. Launched recently, this app seamlessly integrates Mobility as a Service (MaaS) by aggregating all public and private transportation options into one user-friendly platform – right on your smartphone.

    This digital tool is a collaborative effort between STIB-MIVB, the local public transit operator, and Brussels Mobility. Together, they aim to enhance flexibility and responsiveness in addressing mobility requirements while encouraging users to shift away from personal vehicles in favor of the diverse range of transportation choices now accessible.

    Gone are the days of cluttering your phone with numerous mobility apps. Floya empowers users to effortlessly plan, book, and pay for various transportation modes within Brussels. Currently, it encompasses the four primary public transportation modes (metro, trams, buses, and trains), as well as various shared scooter, bicycle, and car services. Additionally, it offers the capability to unlock shared mobility devices post-payment and provides real-time information about disruptions or alternate routes.

    As a result, this new app represents an expansion and enhancement of the STIB-MIVB app, intelligently integrating options from the private sector. Its overarching objective is to present Brussels’ mobility services as a unified ecosystem, regardless of the economic interests of individual branches.

    Brussels’ mobility landscape is continually evolving, and Floya is expected to evolve alongside it. A range of exciting new features is in the pipeline, promising users even more choices and convenience.

  2. White paper from Autonomy on partnering between Microbility service providers and Public Transport Operators

    Comments Off on White paper from Autonomy on partnering between Microbility service providers and Public Transport Operators

    Sustainable mobility network, Autonomy, have published their latest white paper in line with their mission of working towards contributing to the common goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

    Entitled How Micromobility Service Providers can partner with Public Transport Operators (PTOs) to reduce private car commuting, interested parties can visit the website and enter their details to download.

    Autonomy writes: “Micromobility is the ultimate solution for first and last-mile commutes to transit hubs. For those who live beyond walking distance from a public transport station, the ideal solution is to give them a convenient micromobility offer to and from the station. Numerous cities are working on integrating micromobility with public transport, thus reducing the need for car ownership, as we increasingly move towards low emission, carbon neutral cities. Public transport authorities are increasingly working with private micromobility operators to increase multimodality and expand their shared transport offering. Integration is the key but how can different modes of travel be integrated into a seamless experience for the user, so that it reduces private car use?”
