Arriva’s New Digital Mobility Platform ‘glimble’ Launches in Italy

Hey folks! Guess what? Arriva is launching its super cool digital platform called ‘glimble by Arriva’ in Trieste, Italy this week. They’re expanding their reach in the Mobility as a Service (MaaS) sector and they’ve already introduced the glimble brand in the Netherlands. How awesome is that?

Now, let me tell you what glimble is all about. It’s a digital platform developed in partnership with Moovit, and it’s going to revolutionize the way we travel, especially in cities. glimble brings together all transport options, including walking and cycling, to make our journeys more convenient and sustainable. No more just going from station to station, my friends. We’re talking about door-to-door journeys here!

Trieste is going to be the first city in Italy to experience the awesomeness of glimble, but don’t worry, they’re planning to roll it out to other cities too. And let me tell you, Arriva is a big player in the bus game in Italy, with a whopping fleet of over 2,500 vehicles. Impressive, right?

Sian Leydon, the Arriva Group Managing Director for Mainland Europe, is super excited about this launch. She said, ‘In a world where everyone is constantly on the move, we need to be adaptable and nimble to passenger needs, while also encouraging more sustainable choices.’ And that’s exactly what glimble is all about!

Angelo Costa, the Managing Director of Arriva in Italy, is also pumped about glimble. He believes that glimble will encourage people to view buses, bikes, and other modes of transport as a single network instead of separate services. And you know what? That’s a game-changer!

Now, let’s talk about Moovit. They’re a leading technology provider and they’ve already developed the world’s leading MaaS platform. They have a massive user base of 70 million people in 1,400 cities worldwide. Talk about success!

And guess what? You can download glimble from Google Play and the App store. It’s super user-friendly too. They’ve made sure to include accessibility features for everyone. For low vision users, there are screen reading features. And for those with hand-motor disabilities, they’ve optimized the menus and buttons. How thoughtful!

So, what’s the bottom line? glimble is going to make Trieste more accessible, more liveable, and more sustainable. It’s all about combining private, public, and shared transport to make our lives easier. I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait to try it out!
