Amanda WeeOn 10 December 2019, Odakyu Electric Railway released ONE, a community service platform. ONE (pronounced oh-ney) is the acronym for Open Next Experience. It is a mobile application that serves as the hub for sharing economy applications.
ONE utilizes ICT (Information and Communications Technology) that grants users access to multiple applications with a single account, also known as ONE ID. The account is free for registration. A new user just needs to visit ONE’s official website and sign up using an email address.
