*Abstract:*

Platforms become dominant technologies mediating contemporary urban 
life. They change how we travel, pay for goods and services, shop, find 
accommodation and food. They also change how cities are managed and 
organised and mark an important shift towards dataification and 
digitalisation of life. This talk takes a closer look at Mobility as a 
Service [Maas] platforms from the sociological perspective. It describes 
the capacities these technologies have to restructure daily travel as 
well as public spaces in cities. The notion of multiple publics as 
created by platforms will be explored to highlight how they reconfigure 
public values of urban mobility.
