Economic mobilisation of wireless connectivity has brought a nascent change in the functioning of citiesCities and will soon rule the future. In the age of increasing availability of wireless cloud technologies, smartphone applicationsSmartphone applications have become an integral part of our daily life, offering myriad opportunities to simplify our lives and influencing our everyday decisions; transforming urban mobilityUrban Mobility by providing a wide array of information like real-time public transit arrival predictions, multi-modal trip-planning apps, availability of parking, real-time data on traffic, etc. The mobility apps are rapidly challenging the conventional travel pattern and generating new patterns and travel behaviour. Therefore, this chapter produces a condensed review of the endless opportunities IoTInternet of things (IoT) can bring for a better tomorrow through various mobile apps and how policyPolicy measures can reinforce the benefitsBenefit in the following approaches of these apps. It will also highlight how the transportation apps may impact the travel choices of people in IndiaIndia and the challengesChallenges associated with transport authorities, service providers and other stakeholders. The study intends to use the mixed explanatory method with comparative studies of various citiesCities using mobility apps and how they function in isolation without any integration. Integration in tangible entities like fare, modes, schedules, etc., has long been emphasised, but digital integration can bring forward momentum in achieving multiple goals of a successful transport system. The chapter will end with several key inferences, recommendations and suggestions to help researchers and transport authorities consider the role of mobile apps in our transportation network.
