Sydney, Australia – July 15 2024: SkedGo, the Australian mobility innovator, has been selected by US ticketing powerhouse Cubic, to provide routing technology for its Umo app, enhancing the travel experience for 75+ agencies across North America and Chile.
By leveraging SkedGo’s technology, Cubic’s Umo app now offers riders the ability to plan, book and pay for multiple public transport options alongside shared micromobility services. From buses to car sharing, e-scooters to trains, multi-modal trip itineraries are also hyper-localized, enabling transit agencies to cater to the specific mobility needs of individual communities and neighborhoods.
John Nuutinen, CEO, SkedGo, says: “For Cubic to recognize SkedGo has the scalability and speed to deliver a world-class routing solution is a real honor. If we’re serious about getting North America to ditch the car then we need to make door-to-door travel more convenient and stress-free, with public and shared transport available at the click of a button. Together, we will set a new standard for what’s possible in journey planning.”
Umo enriches public transit by integrating fares, live bus or train location data, journey planning and contactless payments all in one mobile app. Routes can be planned based on preference, with journeys chosen for speed, accessibility, health benefits, cost or reduced carbon emissions.
The SkedGo and Cubic partnership simplifies transit management, empowering everyone from small bus operators to large regional transport authorities to deliver dependable public transit experiences. Utilizing SkedGo’s SDK (Software Development Kit) and API (Application Programming Interface), Umo remains a robust, scalable, low-risk alternative to conventional solutions and costly in-house developed systems.
