The idea is simple: a transport service that’s so good, you’ll never need a car again. The company has developed a mobile app, Whim, that’s already being used in several European cities and in Tokyo. MaaS Global, whose investors include BP Plc, Mitsubishi Corp. and Toyota Financial Services, says its app can fix urban congestion and reduce pollution. In the US alone, transport accounts for almost 30% of total greenhouse gas emissions, more than any other industry. On June 1, it launches in Switzerland, the first time a MaaS service will span an entire country.
