The city<\/h1><\/div>

The Italian pilot will be carried out in the metropolitan area of Ancona in the Marche region. Its strategic position and its three major interchange hubs (an airport, port and train station) make Ancona an ideal starting point for tourists and residents to travel throughout Europe.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

The challenge <\/h1><\/div>
<\/div>
\n

Over the years, the lack of a single multimodal information system and difficulties in displaying transport information have discouraged users from starting their trips from Ancona or using public transport to reach the interchange hubs. Since 2016, the main public transport operator in Ancona, Conerobus SpA, has offered end users a digital mobility application, ATMA, that aggregates information from different transport operators in local areas for a multimodal trip experience. Via the app, users can find multimodal trips, browse timetables, and purchase tickets, including seasonal tickets.<\/p>\n

The existing system, including the digital application, facilitates traveling and provides transport for 18 000 000 passengers\/year within Ancona with 244 buses. Yet vulnerable-to-exclusion users are not always reached. Currently, the municipality of Ancona and the transport operator are working together with the digital service provider to overcome this issue by assessing needs and collecting comments through the direct involvement of Ancona\u2019s association for the visually impaired.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
