Urban mobility is rapidly evolving, and one company is leading the charge—Meep. In a recent episode of Philly Fortune Talks, Guillermo Campoamor, CEO and co-founder of Meep, shared how his innovative platform is reshaping how we navigate cities.

With a focus on integrating various modes of transport into one seamless app, Meep is revolutionizing the daily commute and offering cities a smarter, more efficient way to move.

A Vision for Change

Guillermo’s journey to founding Meep began with a personal frustration: the inefficiencies of urban transport during his extensive travels for work. He experienced firsthand the challenges of navigating public transit systems across different cities. This experience sparked an idea—why couldn’t all transportation options be brought together in a single platform? From this, Meep was born.

The idea is simple yet transformative: allow users to plan, book, and pay for multiple transport options—from buses to ride-hailing to bike-sharing—through one app. This model, known as Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS), is set to change the way cities approach transportation.

Tackling Traditional Habits

While the concept is innovative, implementing such a model hasn’t been without its challenges. One of the biggest hurdles, Guillermo explained, is changing people’s deeply ingrained habits—particularly the reliance on private cars. While car ownership is often seen as a symbol of freedom, Guillermo argues that in many cases, public transportation is more efficient and environmentally friendly.

To overcome these challenges, Meep has partnered with municipalities and transport operators to showcase how MaaS can improve urban life. The company has seen success in Europe and is now expanding into the U.S., including cities like Philadelphia.

Looking to the Future

When asked about the future of urban mobility, Guillermo shared his excitement about the possibilities of autonomous vehicles and smart city logistics. He believes that the integration of AI, IoT, and 5G will create cities where transportation is more connected, efficient, and responsive to real-time needs.

As Meep continues to expand, the company is also focused on corporate mobility, offering solutions that help businesses improve employee commuting experiences and reduce environmental impact.
