Smart commuting is defined as regularly traveling via carpooling, vanpooling, biking, bicyclists, or taking the metro. Public transit companies, governments, and other stakeholders have developed a complete strategy that considers smart travel and shares it with the public to construct more powerful transportation in metropolitan regions. Smart commuting positively impacts the environment by decreasing traffic congestion and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Carpooling, bike-sharing, vanpooling, and other environmental-friendly commuting options are available through smart commute services. It provides office workers with a transportation option to choose a more effective commute path that reduces traffic congestion and transportation expenditures. One of the factors boosting the growth of the smart commute market is the growing number of city dwellers, leading to an increase in generational rates. Sharing transportation services have gained universal acceptability and are being encouraged by governments and environmental bodies as it helps reduce emissions. It allows for fewer private autos, which is expected to fuel the growth of the smart commute market in the coming years.

In North America, the need for smart commutes has been fuelled by an increasing preference for carpool services among office commuters which would alleviate traffic congestion and prevent environmental damage. Furthermore, a rise in the tourism industry, technological advancements, and favorable government policies are other factors driving the growth of the North America smart commute market. In Europe, the rise in the trend of mobility-as-a-service and the increase in the user base of ride-sharing services are expected to create lucrative opportunities for the market players.

In Europe, due to growing concerns about global warming, road congestion, and reliance on foreign energy, smart commuters are becoming more popular. The practice of levying toll rates on automobiles with a single occupant, which was imposed in 2012, has resulted in a huge increase in the use of smart commutes by European consumers.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Smart Commute Market 

The COVID-19 outbreak had a significant impact on the transportation sector. The demand for carpooling and vanpooling services reduced globally in 2020 due to the COVID-19. The worldwide smart commute market saw a considerable decline in revenue generation in 2020 compared to 2019, partly due to the lockdowns and customers' reluctance to use ride-sharing services even after the regulations were lifted. Ride-sharing firms are always attempting to maintain driver and passenger confidence in terms of safety and sanitation.

Increasing Trend of Mobility-as-a-Service

People who are not capable of purchasing a car can experience seamless travel through mobility services. According to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the average cost of owning and operating a vehicle is roughly $8,858, assuming 15,000 kilometers of drive per year. Mobility-as-a-service reduces these costs for the user by maximizing the use of transportation services such as carpooling and ride-hailing. It also reduces traffic congestion and overall automobile emissions in cities. As a result, digitally-enabled carpooling and ride-hailing efficiently manage transport demands and provide a convenient and environmentally friendly alternative to private automobile ownership. Moreover, according to statistics, 55% of the world's population currently lives in cities, and estimations suggest that by 2050, roughly 68% of the population will be living in cities. The rapid pace of urbanization is already leading to traffic congestion. The mobility as a service (MaaS) concept may be a better choice for reducing traffic congestion by making greater use of existing public and private transportation infrastructure. The urgent demand for effective solutions to handle traffic in smart cities in a faster, less expensive, and more convenient manner is expected to fuel MaaS market growth by 2028. Therefore, the increasing trend of mobility as a Service (MaaS) is expected to fuel the growth of the global smart commute market.
