Tranzito is championing the concept of curbside mobility hubs, co-locating private shared mobility next to public train and bus stops. Moovit’s platform will be embedded within Tranzito’s Mobi kiosks; users can plan trips from point A to B and view suggested routes, real-time transit information, as well as book and pay for shared mobility rides along city streets and at rail stations.
Universal transit information is displayed to anyone, while registered Tranzito users can access their personal account to book rides without having to use a smartphone.
“Simplifying urban travel has always been our mission,” said Yovav Meydad, Chief Growth & Marketing Officer at Moovit. “As more multimodal trips involve shared mobility options like bikes and scooters, it’s vital to have a physical presence along the curb to maintain convenient and frictionless user experience. Mobi provides this for us.”
“Mobi transforms any sidewalk space into a curbside mobility hub,” said Gene Oh, CEO of Tranzito. “Mobility hubs have the potential – if properly executed – to make multimodal transit feel like a single-ride experience. And transit equity tools like Mobi ensure that everyone benefits from smart cities advancements.”
Tranzito will roll out three Mobis over the next few months — in collaboration with LA Metro at its newest Metro Bike Hub in Willowbrooks/Rosa Parks, as well as with Los Angeles Department of Transportation at its first Mobility Hub at Wilshire Grand Center, and with Caltrain at Caltrain SF Mobility Hub.
