Mitsubishi Estate and MONET Technologies announced on February 25th that they will be conducting a demonstration experiment of an "on-demand commuter shuttle" targeting business people and working fathers and mothers working in the Marunouchi area of Tokyo. Hold a briefing session. Starting with this demonstration experiment, the two companies will proceed with discussions toward the realization of MaaS (Mobility as a Service) in the future.
In the demonstration experiment that will be held from February 26th to March 22nd, a service will be provided that will transport users from a location selected by a smartphone application to a location near their work location.
In order to use the inside of the car as an office space, a Wi-Fi service is provided and a lap table is installed. In the demonstration experiment for working fathers and mothers, we will provide a space where users of childcare facilities can comfortably commute with their children. In addition, we will proceed with verification of the possibility of new services that utilize the space inside the car, such as selling light meals inside the car.
