Summary/Abstract: Big cities face numerous problems that can only be solved by implementing local policies that involve the use of smart management tools. This paper emphasises the human dimension in city management and planning, implying the evolution of the concept of smart cities. Smart cities involve ICT in the administration of diverse sectors. The development of smart transportation is one of the key components of smart cities. The concept of smart transportation is examined in this paper through the concept of mobility as a service, which entails the combination of two or more different modes of transportation and mobility as a service. Therefore, the research question is: Can we solve the accumulated problems in the transportation of Belgrade residents by combining two or more types of transportation through the concept of mobility as a service? The study describes the situation in comparison to the practises of cities such as Helsinki, Vienna, and Ljubljana. The paper provides insight on best practises in the development of this idea in Helsinki, Vienna, and Ljubljana. These cities can serve as a model for the reform of Belgrade’s transportation system, which is based on mobility as a service and citizen participation in the development of local policy.
