'Netflix of transport' may debut here

Imagine having unlimited use of public transport - including buses, trains and bicycles - and a pre-set number of taxi rides for a flat monthly fee. This is what Whim, an app created by Finnish firm MaaS Global, hopes to offer to Singapore by "late this year or early next year", said Mr Kaj Pyyhtia, the firm's co-founder.

He was speaking to The Straits Times on the sidelines of the Emerging Smart and Clean City Solutions conference, held yesterday at the Huone Events Hotel in Clarke Quay.

"An easy way to imagine it is that it's the Netflix or Spotify of transport," he said, pointing to the subscription model offered by the two entertainment services.

Launched in the Finnish capital of Helsinki in June last year, Whim - which has more than 4,000 users - allows commuters to pay a flat monthly fee for unlimited use of a variety of transport modes.

Media reporting is crap. Depending on the package taken, there are limits and there are different limits for public transport, taxi, hire cars, rentals. You also can do pay as go similar to Grab, Uber etc.

This is a good idea. If u buy a package w time limit of 1 month expire u dont use it all the remaining of the money is confiscated

This idea is good to take on filthy cheat ah nehs. Ah neh must buy the package first. Kpkb somemore ah neh lose the whole package and driver can choose not to take ah nehs.
