Opinion of the Week

Complexity and Contradiction: MaaS and the Gender-Sensitive Lens

_____________________________
It is long overdue that we extended the conversation around gender equality to public transport systems and MaaS. Both carry implicit and explicit hierarchies of power as evidenced by the number of women who have to modify their behaviour or take other measures in order to reduce the risk of harassment on public transport or on the street. Dr. Nicole Kalms, Director at XYX Lab and Ross Douglas, CEO at Autonomy, make the case for why we need to rethink our priorities concerning MaaS and public transport for women. Ensuring the safety of 50% of the population in public spaces is tantamount to making MaaS work, hence  the need to re-examine and re-design the current system with a gender-sensitive lens.

They offer manufacturers the opportunity to not only produce more cost and energy efficient cars but also the capacity to reach a variety of demographics due to lower price points in comparison to current models. Mobup's editorial team looks at the opportunites that solar batteries afford the manufacturers of electric vehicles to design and produce vehicles that respond to our current and future automobile needs and perhaps most importantly, don't cost €120 000 to buy.
