Meanwhile, a tie-up between mobilityX and the Nanyang Technological University will allow environmentally-conscious commuters to calculate the carbon footprint of their transport choices through the Zipster app. MobilityX - which is backed by transport operator SMRT as well as Toyota Tsusho, the general trading arm of carmaker Toyota - has also partnered MasterCard and fintech start-up MatchMove to facilitate digital payments, with a Zipster MasterCard expected to be launched in the fourth quarter of this year. "If you live next to an MRT station, versus say someone living in a private estate, obviously your requirements are very different," he noted. The subscription plans are likely to allow for some level of customisation based on a user's specific needs, said Mr Lim.
This is in line with Zipster’s mobility-as-a-service (MaaS) model - referring to apps which allow commuters to plan their journeys and pay for different transport modes through a single platform. While the prices of these subscriptions have yet to be confirmed, they are likely to cost from S$50 to about S$100, and allow users to save up to 20 per cent on transport every month, mobilityX CEO Colin Lim told reporters on Monday. SINGAPORE: Within the next six months, commuters here will have access to virtually unlimited rides on buses and trains, as well as discounted rides on ride-hailing services and shared-bikes with a flat monthly fee.īy early next year, all-in-one transit app Zipster - officially launched on Monday (Sep 16) by local start-up MobilityX - aims to offer commuters between three and five different subscription plans depending on their transport needs.
