- Will provide real-time information to passengers
- Application to be built by HaCon
- Supports Andorra's vision for sustainable transport
Siemens Mobility, HaCon and eos.uptrade will create an intermodal mobility platform for Forces Elèctriques d'Andorra (FEDA), which was appointed to create this platform by the Government and the seven councils of Andorra. The application will integrate several transportation modes across the country and the first phase of the application will be available for download by riders in fall 2019. It includes public buses, electric bike-sharing and chargers for electric vehicles, and on- and off-street parking. It will allow riders to view available transportation options, plan their trip in real-time and manage payments across the various modes of transport. The investment will help Andorra achieve its' sustainability goals, including lowering carbon emissions and promoting public and multimodal transport.
