Designing a Mobile Payment-Driven Mobility-as-a-Service Architecture for Bus Transportation.

This paper proposes a comprehensive architecture for a Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) platform, focusing on service browsing, ticketing, and payment, with a specific emphasis on integrating MaaS into bus payment systems. The proposed architecture aims to enhance user experience and convenience in accessing and paying for various transportation services while providing support for MaaS startups, offering a novel approach to MaaS, addressing challenges related to service discovery, ticketing, and payment through a unified system. The proposed MaaS platform holds the potential to improve mobility, reduce congestion, and promote sustainable transportation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
