Real freedom isn’t parked in your driveway. It arrives there when you need it to.

This week on The Fleet, Chris Brandt sits down with Sampo Hietanen, founder of MaaS Global and Aspectu, and the original mind behind Mobility as a Service. Together, they explore how MaaS is transforming not just transportation, but the entire fabric of urban life. Where fleets, data, and design come together to move people more intelligently and sustainably.

Hietanen explains how the shift from ownership to access could redefine personal freedom, reduce inefficiency, and unlock the full potential of shared mobility as this episode dives deep into a simple but radical truth: the future of movement isn’t about owning more… It's about moving better.
