A Transportation Service Providers offers a -most often- physical mobility solution in the form of busses, shared vehicles, taxi service, ridesharing,...

In order for MaaS to become reality, we need layers of technical infrastructure to support single- or multi-modal journies that span cities, regions, nations, continents, and possibly the globe. In other words, we cannot work in isolation.
By way of example, consider the following diagram showing some of the technical layers and data interchange needed to support a person when taking a multi-modal trip:
In the above abstraction, we can see there are many moving parts involved in efficient trip planning. execution, and reconciliation.
