The Digitization of Transportation

Transport application means a special program installed on smart cards and other electronic media, including mobile phones, for cashless payments for travel and baggage transportation on public transport. If you are with a transportation company, you might be thinking that mobile applications are not something that you require immediately. It’s true that mobile apps for transportation companies don’t get a lot of press but that is not because others are not using them. In fact, logistics and transportation are the prime areas where man-fold efficiency increases can be achieved with digitization. Transportation Apps play a very important role in our society. And today a lot of people use online apps, to go somewhere like Yandex Taxi and we are already familiar with mobile technology such as Uber and Lyft. To get around, people even use car-sharing apps like Turo or Zipcar.

There are apps for train schedules, bus schedules, and plane schedules. Everything I’ve just mentioned is something we’ve become accustomed to over the last few years. However, we are now seeing an increase in the number of companies offering mobile applications for unique modes of transportation. I’m talking about apps like Limebike and Bird. Users who download the Bird app can find electric scooters in their area and the app is used to unlock and start the scooter. The user can then go for a ride and leave it wherever they want when they’re done by locking it through the app and completing the ride. When the ride is finished, another user can use the same scooter and pick it up exactly where it was left.
