Mileus. Commuting home. Comfortably.
Mileus succeeded in the Future Mobility and Travel category, covering innovative technologies in travel, smart cities, autonomous and connected vehicles, urban connectedness and related technologies.
During the pitch, our CMO Veronika Froncova painted a picture of a struggle of people living away from the city centre, which includes transferring, walking and waiting in between the transfers, and then walking back home. This commute can become quite uncomfortable.
That’s where Mileus comes in. Mileus guarantees that every day, you can get home comfortably and easily – without your own car.
We’re seeing a paradigm shift today as we’re increasingly focusing on moving more people rather than cars down the road. But an important question arises:
At Mileus, we’ve found out we can have the greatest impact by focusing on a single use case – the evening commute home – and making it as comfortable as possible.
How? With intermodal transportation solution automatically interconnecting transit in city centres with taxi services in areas of low transit serviceability.
Grow your ride-hailing business with intermodality
Learn how you can:
- Boost search to ride conversion rate
- Increase ride frequency and average revenue per user
- Improve vehicle utilisation and fleet efficiency

This solution ultimately benefits the commuters who can get home comfortably in the evening; the cities which will see a decrease in cars, congestion, and pollution; and finally, the taxi and ride-hailing operators who are enabled to grow rapidly, yet sustainably.

It’s an amazing recognition on our journey towards innovating urban mobility and creating more sustainable modes of commute in our cities. We are determined to continue making a positive impact and are looking forward to participating in the European final of the Tech Rocketship Awards.
