GoSEStran was a pilot project to develop a Mobility as a Service (MaaS) app to allow users to plan, book and pay for journeys in and around South East Scotland.
GoSEStran was a Mobility as a Service (MaaS) app, and provided a free journey planning tool for South East Scotland.
Mobility as a Service, or MaaS, is a way of looking at how people get from A to B. Instead of promoting a single form of transport, MaaS presents the individual making the journey with all of the available transport options so they can make an informed decision.
The GoSEStran app helped you to plan a journey anywhere in Scotland and choose from all available travel options based on journey duration, cost and even the predicted CO2 emissions.
The GoSEStran MaaS project was a collaborative project led by SEStran and involving Fuse Mobility Ltd., Ember, Tactran, East Lothian Council and The University of St Andrews. The project received funding via Transport Scotland MaaS Investment Fund and Smarter Choices Smarter Places.
The GoSEStran mobile app allowed users to plan, book and pay for their journey end to end and integrates bus, train, taxi, car clubs, and active travel routes.
The initial pilot phase was focused in East Lothian, but went on to integrate local modes across all local authorities in the SEStran region. In September 2023, The University of St Andrews became an app partner and developed the app with local additions.
