The Triumphs and the Tribulations of Shared Micromobility & Public Transport Integration
Location: Room - Emerald II
Shared micromobility (bikes, scooters, mopeds,...) has become commonplace in many urban areas the world over. Yet their usage pattern and impact on the transport system as a whole remains in question. Preliminary results seem to suggest that they compete with other active modes and local/short distance public transport trips, and complement longer distance public transport. In this session, we will present findings about their potential contribution to public transport, attitudes that drive or inhibit the use of such services and discuss the qualitative aspects of shared micromobility and the broader impact on mobility, accessibility, equity, public space etc.

Dr.Nejc Geržinič, PostDoc, TU Delft Nejc works as a travel behaviour researcher at the Delft University of Technology. His research aim is to better understand behavioural patterns and the preferences of travellers with the goal of making travel more sustainable, comfortable and a fun experience, for both day-to-day travel and leisure/tourist travel. In his past research, he looked into the preferences and perception of shared mobility, long-distance and international travel, travel demand management policies, the interaction of public transport and micromobility and many more. |

Leah Watetu Mbugua, Ir., TU Delft Watetu Mbugua is a transport engineer with an MSc in Transport, Infrastructure, and Logistics from Delft University of Technology, where she graduated cum laude. With a civil engineering background and experience in transport systems and logistics, Watetu has worked with organizations such as The World Bank and Prysmian Group NL, focusing on data-driven strategies to improve road safety, advance sustainability, and optimize transport efficiency. Her MSc thesis on the societal costs and benefits of integrating bike-sharing with public transport reflects her passion for sustainable transport solutions. She is looking forward to sharing her findings at the conference. |
