Currently, over 100 million people in the US are under heat warnings.
A report by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) earlier this year confirmed that 2023 was the warmest year on record. This year seems to be following the same trend, with more predictions of heat waves and extreme weather events, such as floods, wildfires, and droughts.
Extreme weather conditions, such as very hot spells or sub-zero temperatures, always impact public transit. Despite this, many people still rely on public transit for essential journeys, such as to get to their workplace, or to attend medical appointments.
Kuba’s mobility app can be crucial in ensuring passengers’ safety when they have no choice but to travel. Under the GoPass® name, it is used in US cities receiving severe weather alerts for heat, including Dallas, Tulsa, and Phoenix.
