(BLOOMBERG) - The idea is simple: A transport service that's so good, you'll never need a car again. It is what Finnish start-up MaaS Global Oy has been working towards since 2015. It has developed a mobile app, Whim, that's already being used in several European cities and in Tokyo. In the capital of Finland, 12 per cent of users already say it has prompted them to give up their cars, with as many again saying they plan to. MaaS Global, whose investors include BP, Mitsubishi Corp and Toyota Financial Services, says its app can fix urban congestion and reduce pollution. That's as research shows that living in an environment with cleaner air contributes measurably to happiness and well-being. Finland, where the service pioneered, happens to have the best air quality in the world. Coincidentally, it is also ranked the world's happiest country. MaaS Global chief executive officer Sampo Hietanen says creating a world in which it is more convenient not to have your own car is an obvious way to cut carbon emissions in the transport sector. In the United States alone, transport accounts for almost 30 per cent of total greenhouse gas emissions, more than any other industry. "Realistically,...
