Juraj Atlas has raised a pre-seed round of 400,000€ for his new startup Mileus that aims to improve the overall traffic situation in large European cities. The platform will make travelling easier by interconnecting public transport with ride-hailing services.
Juraj Atlas, Mileus CEO, about his journey leading from global corporations to a start-up that helps ride-hailers grow and makes our cities more livable at the same time.
“Mileus solution is more comfortable than public transport alone and cheaper than a taxi alone,” says Juraj Atlas. Mileus automatically interconnects ride-hailing services with transit system lines, improving the comfort and convenience of public transport while motivating people to leave their cars at home.
Intermodality seems to be at the core of all the solutions that might bring an alternative to a private car for our basic daily transportation needs. But how to build an intermodal system that really might stand for its viable alternative?
The aim of cities all around the world is clear: to limit the number of cars on streets. But how to motivate residents to leave their cars at home? And as there’s no quick, one-size-fits-all solution, how to find the right point of focus?
Interconnecting the two modes of transportation means decreasing the number of cars in city centers, increasing the comfort of public transport for suburban residents, and also having a positive impact on the environment.
Are ride-hailing operators hitting a marketing conundrum? The desire to win new customers and increase revenue per customer is hitting the ceiling in our cities. It is therefore necessary to look for new opportunities to work better with the customer and attract their attention.
Ride-hail growth is possible, even in contemporary cities that strive for fewer cars in the streets. The solution is in the combination of taxi and public transport.
Could have been RIDETO, could have been mileeto, but finally, it is Mileus! How and why we got our name? Dive deeper into our (hi)story of making cities more liveable.
Initially, we all believed that ride-hailing would help decrease car overload and congestion, but we’ve seen the exact opposite happened. However, there is a comfortable alternative to ride-hailing: intermodality.
