SkedGo

Recognising that one size does not fit all, SkedGo has adapted its proven MaaS technology to a diverse range of communities. This approach allows governments, transport authorities, businesses and nonprofits to launch highly tailored, localised solutions serving demographics such as commuters, employees, students, and underserved communities.

Using its unique API, SDK and white label technology, organisations can rapidly create their own multi/mixed modal MaaS offering, including journey planning, parking, book & pay, events and itineraries. SkedGo’s solutions provide personalised and contextual trips to the end user based on speed, cost, convenience, low carbon emissions and active travel.

Wheelchair routing, out-of-order lifts, cycle/path ‘friendliness’, and customisable walking speeds support safer travel for everyone, particularly people who are neurodiverse, have reduced mobility, the elderly and parents with children. Its crowding levels feature allows passengers to choose quieter routes/carriages or switch to alternative modes, providing real-time information on passenger numbers, arrival times and service information.

The emphasis on people-centric MaaS solutions has led to the global adoption of SkedGo’s technology. It is already being implemented in Europe, UK, USA and Japan as well as Australia. Examples include Leicester City Council and Transport for Greater Manchester (UK), to encourage active travel and increase public transport usage; and Feonix - Mobility Rising (USA), a nonprofit, to support underserved communities including low-income families.

Skedgo is also the technology enabling partner providing the platform for the ODIN PASS app The subscription-based app offers students and staff access to a range of transport options. The success of this project has seen it expand to allow for a further 5,000 subscriptions. The trial has recently been extended to ITS Summit 2022 delegates, providing a new way for visitors to travel around Brisbane and South East Queensland during the event.
