In an effort to facilitate intermodality and simplify access to public transport, the city of Modena is introducing a revolutionary new application. This innovative platform allows users to plan and pay for multimodal journeys. It can also be used to buy tickets for cultural events and tourist packages. A digital breakthrough that promises to transform the transport experience for residents and visitors alike. Find out how this application could well change the way we get around.
A simplified transport experience in Modena
Imagine being able to board a bus, go to a station, take a train and, once you’ve arrived at your destination, use a taxi to get to your final destination, all without ever having to get out a paper ticket or pay cash. This is what the MaaS (‘Mobility as a Service for Italy’) application offers. This easy-to-use application brings together all transport services in one place. Users can plan, book and pay for their journeys directly from their mobile phone. As well as traditional public transport such as buses and trains, the app also includes car and bike sharing services, as well as taxis and car parks.

A transport bonus and significant financial support
To encourage the adoption of this new technology, a regional trial is currently underway. Eligible citizens can participate by downloading the application and will receive a transport bonus of €10 per month until December 2024. This initiative is backed by substantial funding: €2.5 million allocated by the National Recovery and Resilience Plan. This is in addition to the €11.5 million from the Por Fesr 2021-2027 programme. These funds are aimed at modernising local public transport companies, with a particular focus on technological integration.
With this application, Modena is positioning itself at the cutting edge of sustainable, digital mobility. It’s an essential tool for anyone looking for a seamless, integrated travel experience. And all the while enjoying the benefits of an enriched cultural and tourist offering. Don’t miss this opportunity to turn your daily commute into a pleasant, hassle-free experience.
