Fully committed to the digital revolution through its Extended Monaco

programme, Monaco has launched the Monapass mobile application and Open

Monaco (CAM).

MONAPASS, A 'MOBILITY AS A SERVICE' (MAAS) APPLICATION PROVIDES USERS WITH AN

ALL-IN-ONE SOLUTION

Monaco is continuing its digital transformation by deploying 'Monapass', a new

mobility application for users, tourists, and commuters. It called on the

technological expertise and know-how of Flowbird, a world leader in urban

mobility technology, to deliver the solution.

Monapass is an all-in-one mobile application with journey planning and an

integrated payment system for Monaco’s transportation including:

- CAM buses

- 'MonaBike' electric bikes

- On-street parking

Cards, subscriptions and payment methods are integrated into one application,

which also provides a range of features including real-time traffic

information, bus timetables, bicycle availability and location. The free mobile

application allows users to easily and securely plan and pay for their trips

via a single ticket, pass, bus or bicycle subscription. For example, users can

park their vehicle in the city before using a bus and/or a bike, which can all

be booked and paid for via the Monapass mobile application.

In addition to improving the user ticketing and payments experience, Monapass

promotes green and active mobility, in support of Monaco’s objective of

reducing light vehicle traffic by 20% by 2030.
