Tallinn and Tartu develop a combined mobility platform

Tallinn and Tartu signed a contract for the development of ticket application combining different mobility services

The aim of the project is to bring together the systems of public transport, such as buses and other transport devices and service providers into a single trip planner. The new application also allows users to pay for a trip in the same place in a single payment.
“Our aim is to create a platform, which would help people combine different ways of transport, making it easier for people to move about the cities,” said Deputy Mayor Tanel Kiik. “In order to do so, different service providers must work together. In addition to buses, trolleybuses, trams and trains the app must include taxis and electric scooters as well,” added Kiik.

The app will be developed by a Latvian start-up mobility.delivered, mobile payment provider Mobilly and geographic information systems Jāņa Sēta.
The Head of mobility.delivered Jānis Meirans said that the project gives the company an opportunity to bring their business expertise and innovative solutions to the transport sector. “Combining different modes of transport into a unified system is very exciting. Our end goal is to make it easier for people to travel and move about cities,” added Meirans. “We are confident that the residents and visitors of Tallinn and Tartu will appreciate our joint efforts to provide sustainable and convenient daily transport in one solution.”

The budget for the project is €120 000. Half of the budget will be covered by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the other half will be provided by the cities of Tallinn and Tartu. Tallinn's share of funding is one third and Tartu's one sixth.

The development of the joint mobility platform is co-funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF)
