Powering the Future of British Journeys: Aubin Launches its Mobility as a Service Open Platform

12th May 2025

At Aubin MaaS Ltd., we’re driven by a passion for accessible and intelligent transport solutions. Building on the success of our Aubin travel companion app, designed with neurodivergent passengers in mind, we are thrilled to announce a significant expansion of our offerings: the launch of our British Mobility as a Service (MaaS) Open Platform and comprehensive Technical Services.

This is more than just a new product; it’s an invitation for transport authorities, operators, and innovators to collaborate and build a more connected, efficient, and user-centric transport network across Britain.

Introducing the Aubin Open Trip Planner (OTP) Solution: The Backbone for Your Mobility Vision

At the heart of this new initiative is our powerful, open-source backend journey planning system. This Software as a Service (SaaS) solution, meticulously developed and based on the renowned Open Trip Planner (OTP), is believed to be the most comprehensive Britain-wide implementation of its kind.

What does this mean for your organisation? It means access to a robust system that covers:

  • All trains and buses in Great Britain.
  • Real-time live updates for accurate and dynamic journey planning.
  • A UK-hosted environment ensuring data sovereignty and reliability, complete with Service Level Agreements (SLAs).

Why Choose the Aubin Open Platform? Key Advantages for Your Organisation:

Leveraging Open Trip Planner, our MaaS platform offers distinct advantages over traditional, proprietary systems:

  1. Zero Licence Fees: The open-source nature of OTP eliminates costly licensing, allowing you to allocate budget towards customisation and service enhancement.
  2. Unmatched Flexibility & Customisation: Tailor the system to your specific regional needs, branding, and service integrations. OTP’s architecture is designed for adaptability.
  3. Future-Proof Your Investment: Retain control and the ability to enhance and modify the backend system as your requirements evolve or new technologies emerge.
  4. Comprehensive Hybrid Journey Support: Our platform seamlessly integrates diverse transport modes, including:
    • Public transport (trains, buses)
    • Private car
    • Walking & Cycling
    • Ride-hailing services
    • On-demand and regional transport modes
  5. Cost-Effective Powerhouse: Achieve sophisticated national and regional journey planning capabilities without the premium price tag of closed-source alternatives.

We understand that a powerful platform is only one part of the equation. To ensure you can fully harness the capabilities of our OTP solution and achieve your specific MaaS objectives, Aubin MaaS Ltd. offers a suite of expert Technical Services. Our team’s deep understanding of OTP and transit data makes us the ideal partner for:
