MaaS - Better Than Your Own Car   Imagine if all your daily travel needs would be covered, with one simple app, with one simple payment – directly from your mobile.

Our revolutionary mobile app, Whim, liberates people from timetables, fixed routes, parking worries, and the high costs of owning a car. Born out of a need to be spontaneous, it gives people access to a huge variety of transport options. A Whim subscription means true freedom of mobility. www.whimapp.com   Changing the Way You Move   MaaS Global Ltd is bringing into reality the concept of Mobility as a Service (MaaS), by building the world’s first mobility ecosystem.
