Integrating Micromobility and Public Transit for Better Service
According to a press release on Newswire, “The report brings together government, system operator and NGO experts to identify new and existing solutions like mobility hubs that put different transportation options at the same locations, fare integration across modes to lower trip costs, and equity programs that expand access.”
“In recent findings, Superpedestrian reported that two-thirds of its e-scooter trips were not related to tourism or recreational use, but for commuting to work, to school and other daily necessities,” signaling a need to integrate scooters with other available transit options and connect to larger public transit systems. Paul White, Senior Director of Public Affairs at Superpedestrian, argues that “Micromobility is real transportation. Based on evidence in our cities across the globe, we know that when micromobility and public transit are more seamlessly connected, they offer a more compelling alternative to private car use.”
