Acquistare tutti i biglietti, pianificare l’intero viaggio, controllare orari in tempo reale, rinnovare un abbonamento o acquistare e prolungare una sosta, tutto “in un click”. In Emilia-Romagna è possibile grazie a “Roger, il tuo assistente per muoverti in Emilia-Romagna”, la nuova app promossa dalla Regione Emilia-Romagna che integra, in un solo strumento, i servizi di trasporto di tutte le aziende del territorio. Con Roger è infatti possibile acquistare qualsiasi titolo di viaggio direttamente dallo smartphone con una sola operazione, rendendo più semplice e comodo per l’utente viaggiare in tutta la regione. Un progetto che oggi vede la realizzazione grazie alla collaborazione di tutte le aziende di trasporto del territorio regionale (SETA, START, TEP, TPER) e con il supporto della Regione Emilia-Romagna, insieme per fornire un servizio che agevola la mobilità e i servizi al cittadino. La nuova applicazione, utilizzabile su telefoni IOS, permetterà di pianificare il viaggio con soluzioni che integrano i collegamenti nazionali con il trasporto locale (treno e bus) e i parcheggi, e di acquistare da ovunque ci si trovi i titoli di viaggio, anche per Trenitalia.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: BOforAll at 100% against ROGER's 23%. BOforAll also leads on rating (5.0 vs 1.6) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). ROGER's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 33 months) and ratings volume (21 vs 1). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
