The Triumphs and the Tribulations of Shared Micromobility & Public Transport integration

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.
