The MaaS platform developed by Mobimeo provides intuitive access to all available mobility options, from searching to booking and payment. With the application programming interface (API) it has developed, ioki now enables the direct booking and handling of on-demand journeys to be deeply integrated in a MaaS app for the first time. The implementation of this technical solution marks the first cooperation on a joint project between these two Deutsche Bahn subsidiaries. Users of the KVV.mobil app can now also use it to book MyShuttle vehicles.
Nevertheless, the previously released ioki kvv.easy app will still be available to customers.
Heike Löffler, Chief Commercial Officer (CCO) of Mobimeo: “The update to the KVV.mobil app is a truly special occasion for us for two reasons: When we acquired the B2B/B2G business of moovel last autumn, we got the opportunity to convince KVV of the capabilities of Mobimeo’s MaaS platform. And the fact that the integration of MyShuttle has given us the chance to work together with our colleagues from ioki within one app is testament to the strength of our integrated offering.”
Dr. Michael Barillère-Scholz, CEO of ioki: “By offering to upgrade apps with this API, we are opening up our ioki platform to all transport providers with deeply integrated mobility-as-a-service solutions. We can now also display our on-demand bookings within comprehensive mobility-as-a-service apps, thus offering even greater value to users. We are delighted to deploy this interface for the first time with our DB sister company Mobimeo as part of our joint project with KVV.”
Besides the deep integration of the electric on-demand ridesharing service MyShuttle, users benefit from additional sharing options. The KVV.mobil app also offers simple and contactless purchasing of public transport tickets, based on the selected route or directly in the ticket shop.
