Júlia Gilavert, Manager of Moventis SARBUS, participated this Tuesday, November 29, in the 2022 Congress of Municipal Engineers, which was held virtually.

The event, promoted by the Col·legi d’Enginyers Civils and aimed at engineering professionals who carry out their activity locally, received the expert from the Moventia group in a session called “New mobility”.

During his speech, Gilavert presented the success story of the on-demand public transport service operated by Moventis in the municipality of Sant Cugat del Vallès (Barcelona).

The company representative explained how the three-line service works, in which users request the trip they want to make, through the telephone platform or the digital application (Shotl). At this point, the Moventis SARBUS Manager argued that, as a result of Covid-19, the company carried out a user awareness campaign to teach them how to use the application, and that, since then, the number of telephone reservations has potentially decreased, reducing the technological gap of the population.

Júlia Gilavert determined that this service has been a “success story” for Moventis, since after the pandemic the on-demand lines were the “first to recover in the return to normality”. The expert attributed this result to the fact that users saw it as an “opportunity to travel by public transport in a much less massive way.”

Given the conclusions of the service, the representative of Moventis argued that the on-demand service is a “very necessary consolidated service” that, “if it is well operated and organized, it works”.

Participation in the 2022 Congress of Municipal Engineers was a good projection opportunity for the company. Moventia, like the other speakers, had a virtual stand where users could access the most relevant information on the company.
