Many citizens are eager to embrace Smart Mobility, which promises to reduce congestion and facilitate faster, greener, and cheaper transportation options. The concept is about allowing seamless, efficient and flexible travel across various modes, such as park & ride schemes and booking a trip involving train, metro and bus. Accessing mobility services in an integrated manner however can be frustrating as users often have to jump across apps, payment systems and programmes in order to sort out their itinerary. So in order to pull all these pieces of the puzzle together, an EU funded project combined an existing cloud-based platform with new functionalities.

The result is the ECIM marketplace for transport solutions, which is designed to enable local authorities and businesses to provide seamless online mobility services.
