The global shift from vehicle ownership to Mobility as a Service (MaaS) is reshaping urban mobility under the twin imperatives of smart city development and the net-zero transition. Japan’s progression from MaaS 1.0 to MaaS 2.0 illustrates how M(aaS can operate as a “City OS,” integrating transportation systems, data governance, and ESG objectives. By prioritizing data standardization and cross-sector coordination, Japan offers critical insights into how MaaS can drive decarbonization, promote social inclusion, and enable sustainable smart city growth.
