When Gruppo FS Italiane set out to create a mobility app, it knew the variety of transportation options had to be as diverse as the landscape itself.
“It’s the story of Italy,” Danilo Gismondi, the Head of IT for FS Technology, told Industrious. “In a small area, we have all the problems of a big country—mountains, sea, urban, rural, different climates and different cultures.”
Within the first year of its summer 2018 launch, the Nugo app added more than 200 transportation providers to its platform. Together, they offer more than a dozen transit options, including bullet trains, subways, taxis, tour buses and ferries.
