Abstract
Following the growing world population and associated need for increased transportation, there is a growing interest in some aspects of transport such as sustainability, to reduce CO2 emissions and reach climate objectives. Modern urban living is rapidly changing with new technological innovations, one of which is the possibility to integrate different electronic “on demand” services into one single medium. Public transport users need innovative, multi-applicative, multi-functional, safe and secure ticketing systems, easy to use. Concept of Mobility as a Service (MaaS) as an integration of various forms of transport services into a single mobility service accessible on demand is a new way of thinking about public transport. This paper focuses on mobility market transformation with main question how Mobility as a Service based on open source principles will impact the ecosystem.

Whilst ticketing was initially a mere fare collection tool, it is considered as an essential enabler of Mobility as a Service (MaaS)
Summary
Today a change of the mobility paradigm can be witnessed on a global scale. The transport sector is targeted by very large and intrusive players such as Uber, Lyft, Google, etc. and captured by other very small players, start-ups, which offer solutions that are often ephemeral and just as challenging for transport authorities. The above-mentioned actors and solutions mark an unprecedented trend towards digitalization in urban areas, in public transport, but in all other relevant sectors such as commerce, education, parking, banking, payments They all become connected among themselves and with the customers in a complex ecosystem known as “smart city”. On one side, such evolutions represent an opportunity for public transport authorities: the diversity of available and future digital solutions can support the development of innovative. Achieving the green goals on a European level will mean to give a minimum of control and management of the future eco system to regions and cities In this respect, the adoption of open standards and APIs allows to set the rules of fair play and equal conditions among the involved stakeholders. Both are fundamentals to enhance the increase of adoption of Mobility as a service (MaaS) concept and favor developments related to smart cities
