On today’s show we have Boyd Cohen, CEO of Iomob, to discuss building a marketplace operating system for city transportation, and what is enabled having all modes of transport interoperable and discoverable.
Specifically, we dig into:
- What the benefits to customers and operators are for an open marketplace for mobility.
- Why micromobility is specifically well suited to open marketplaces/interoperability.
- Why Boyd doesn’t think the current scooter/micromobility operators will survive in their current form.
- The benefits and pitfalls of having system wide integrations for all transport options.
- How this will scale in the face of competition from Uber, Google Maps and others.
