The aim of IMIKASK is to contribute to the use of public transport – making it more accessible and user-friendly. The project will contribute to reach the national aims of increasing public transport towards 2020.

The project will contribute to connect urban and rural areas via increasing the opportunities for supporting co-co-modality.

IMIKASK will contribute to increase the possibilities for cross border public transport by increasing the opportunities for supporting co-modality thereby making it easier for the citizens to use and plan longer, cross-border travels with various types of public transport.

It is the specific objective to increase the citizens’ opportunity to, in a simple and effective way, get information on travel opportunities, book and pay the travel – with no regard to the means of public transport (train, bus, ferry) and thereby improve the transport conditions and accessibility in less populated rural areas.

The specific objective is to provide the citizens with a total overview and information on their journey – also across borders. I.e. the citizens shall be able to book a journey beginning in Sweden and ending in Denmark.

Through the project, the partners shall become able to develop a tool that gives the citizens the possibility to in a simple way make reservations, book and pay for journeys across administrative and national borders independent upon who is responsible for the transport and the mode of transport. I.e. the traveler shall be able to book a travel, get information about the travel before, during (real time) and after the travel, as well as pay for the travel, as if the travel was carried out by one company. This means a system that connects existing systems making the citizens able to carry out co-modality between different means of transport in one booking.

The partners aim at developing a system, testing it 1:1 during the project and make adjustments to the system for it to be ready for full scale implementation after the end of the project.
