Regulate mobility operators and MaaS providers separately.
Adopt an explicitly pro-competitive approach to MaaS in policy and legislation.
Clearly establish the status of MaaS providers via a licensing scheme.
Review conditions for mobility operator licences to ensure they do not include barriers to developing MaaS.
Add mandatory minimum data-sharing requirements relating to informational and operational data to licences for mobility operators.
Build mandatory consumer data portability, subject to user consent, into the conditions of all mobility operator and MaaS provider licences.
Adopt competition safeguards as part of the MaaS provider licensing framework.
Ensure public transport operators have the freedom to negotiate the terms of public transport ticket resale with MaaS providers who, in turn, should be free to determine the pricing of services to consumers.
Apply OECD and EU best practice principles on regulatory policy and governance to inform approaches to regulating MaaS.
Make data reporting requirements to public authorities specific and directly related to regulatory tasks.
The Good Move policy package should remain the key vehicle for implementing sustainable urban mobility policies.
