SINGAPORE -- Singapore is hoping to ease its congestion problems by encouraging foreign and local companies to help revolutionize the way consumers use its transport system.

Finnish mobility service provider Maas Global plans to enter the Singapore market early next year with an "all-in-one" app that consolidates all modes of transport services onto its platform. Singapore-born startup mobilityX is also expected to launch a similar app after last month announcing a new fundraising to expand in Singapore and the region.
