Can car sharing be key to developing greener and more attractive cities? Spoiler alert! 100% yes. A topic that the Bymiljøetaten i Bergen municipality in 🇳🇴 has been taking into serious consideration. 🚗 🌿 As many studies have shown, car sharing helps free up considerable parking space, for greener areas, playgrounds or bike lanes, reduces traffic and promotes more environmentally friendly transport choices. 🗣 Which is why meeting up with public administration, property developers and mobility providers last week in Bergen felt like an important discussion we wanted to take part of (thanks Thea Martine Samer for speaking!) 👉 Our key takeaways? ✔ Car sharing can be a key tool when designing and developing urban development projects ✔️ Car sharing can become the norm with support from public regulations and promotional measures (parking permits, purchase of service mobility…) ✔️ Car sharing can also become a solution for businesses and work related trips (something we’re all over with our Getaround for Work program 😉) As a car sharing operator, we were able to take part in different panels of conversations about our experience in developing various public partnerships across Norway to promote car sharing and help create more durable cities. 🙏 Bymiljøetaten i Bergen municipality for the organisation and to all actors there for the talks Frydenbø Eiendom AS Dele Nivel It's tomorrow ADVIER Norconsult Autodelen.net AtB AS

Studying business helps with my intriguing thoughts , as I can understand so many aspects of the business world. Recently, Yulu sparked my interest and I performed a SWOT analysis on it. Strengths One of the most important aspects nowadays where climate change is a major concern, is sustainability. Anything sustainable and environmentally friendly is perceived as good to the consumers. Yulu is the result of people wanting cheaper and more sustainable solutions. It promotes an eco-friendly lifestyle. Yulu also had the first-mover advantage ensuring quick success at a time when electric vehicles were rare. Yulu was one of the first companies to offer dockless bike rentals in India, establishing brand recognition and a customer base. Convenience is another priority of Yulu. Yulu helps to effortlessly travel small distances cost-efficiently, and it’s eco-friendly too. Yulu offers affordable pricing which makes it accessible to everyone. Due to its wide coverage in various cities, it’s well-known among people and is a fun activity to do among friends. It’s utility ranges from leisure time to convenient travel. Yulu also has partnered with delivery companies like Zepto to ensure quick and eco friendly deliveries. Opportunities Yulu has a lot of potential as the Electric vehicles market has started to bloom. It has already started selling electric vehicles. Collaboration with firms offers immense success as these e-scooters can be used inside campuses, big housing societies, large spaces, amusement parks and with numerous delivery partners. It collaborates with big corporate giants to expand its market and expand it’s e-vehicles in tier 2 and 3 cities. The application can become user friendly and many improvements can be made with the consumer data. Weaknesses Yulu bikes are not readily available in all the parts of city, making it difficult for customers to park their vehicles. Moreover, Yulu’s success depends on its ability to maintain and expand its infrastructure. First user experience can be impacted due to improper functioning of even one vehicle. Furthermore, there have been concerns about safety related to improper parking, reckless riding, and lack of dedicated lanes for cyclists, license and age of the driver add to the traffic and legal problems. There is no proper guarantee that Yulu would be successful in some cities, as the demographic factors play an important role in whether the service will be used. Threats Government regulations pertaining to safety, parking and license can hinder Yulu’s operations. Yulu is not a very important commodity for many, hence it has a high income elastic demand, although its overall affordability provides a cushion. Yulu is susceptible to economic changes, like inflation. #yulu #yulubikes #sustainable #gogreen #ebikes #swot #swotanalysis

🚀 Empowering Green Mobility: The Edgo Carts Journey 🌱 It all began on March 7, 2020, in the charming city of Jalandhar, Punjab, where a group of visionary entrepreneurs embarked on a mission to revolutionize urban mobility. Thus, Edgo Carts was born, breathing life into the concept of eco-friendly transportation solutions. With unwavering dedication and an indomitable spirit, our startup has since carved a remarkable path in the world of electric vehicles. 🌍 From Local Roots to Global Impact Starting with electric golf carts, we swiftly gained recognition for our innovative designs, quality craftsmanship, and commitment to sustainability. Our diverse range of 2-seater, 4-seater, and 6-seater carts proved to be the ideal blend of elegance, functionality, and environmental consciousness. The journey from a small city in Punjab to serving more than 250 customers, both B2B and B2C, across the nation, has been nothing short of exhilarating. 🤝 Empowering Education and Collaboration Edgo Carts didn't just create vehicles; we nurtured an ecosystem. Collaborating with ed-tech startups, we forged an impactful partnership to introduce electric vehicle training programs. With a vision to cultivate a green-minded workforce, we established over 15 training centers across the country, preparing professionals and university students for the future of sustainable transportation. 🚌 Beyond Boundaries: Buses and Beyond Our journey transcended golf carts as we ventured into more ambitious territory. The creation of a 6-seater electric bus marked a milestone in our commitment to innovation. Pushing the boundaries further, we designed electric and hybrid versions of the iconic Maruti Gypsy, fusing modernity with tradition. 🚍 Charting the Future: Road Legal Buses and Mini Marvels As we reflect on three transformative years, the horizon is only the beginning. Edgo Carts envisions road-legal electric buses cruising the streets, offering comfort and conscience in every journey. But that's not all—our dreams extend to compact electric mini cars, redefining urban commuting and reducing carbon footprints. 🇮🇳 Driving India's Growth, Empowering Its People Edgo Carts remains steadfast in its commitment to the "Make in India" initiative. Our operations contribute not only to green transportation but also to the prosperity of our nation. By generating employment opportunities and fostering local talent, we're driving India's growth story one electric vehicle at a time. The Edgo Carts journey is a testament to what innovation, collaboration, and a deep-rooted desire for positive change can achieve. As we look ahead, our vision remains clear: to lead the charge in sustainable mobility, to empower individuals and communities, and to be a driving force for a greener, more promising future. #EdgoCarts #SustainableMobility #GreenTransportation #Innovation #MakeInIndia

Interesting case of micromobility hubs in Rotterdam, thanks Ganesh! 💡Many are near #publictransport interchanges, according to UITP Mobility Hubs terminology - doc in the comment #combinedmobility
I see a lot of micro mobility hubs popping up on the streets of Rotterdam. Especially in the south. I photographed a hub every day for a month. Sharing some first observations from this exercise. 1. The current batch of micro hubs are mostly situated next to a public transport node. However, their specific location is sometimes based on existing space availability and not always the most logical/convenient locations as you exit the station/stop. 2. I was super excited when a national huisstijl for hubs was introduced. They are uniform in their signage. However, not always easy to find, especially at night, as the signage is reflective but not backlit. 3. The wayfinding signage towards hubs is almost non existent and could benefit from an ov-fiets like wayfinding signage in the immediate environs. 4. While there are spots marked for the different kind of shared vehicles(cycle/scooter/cargobike etc..) that can be parked, it didn’t seem like people where paying much attention to it. 5. Since there are no docks or racks to attach bikes to, during windy weather, most bikes were on the floor. While the choice to not provide racks was probably to keep non-shared bikes away from the hub, this open model of parking without a dock, while fast, is still messy in its final results as people tend to park quite chaotically. 6. I see less bikes strewn around the streets in the past few months. I’m not sure if it’s because of the hubs or if it’s because people are forming new boundaries of acceptable public behaviour over time. I think these new micromobility hubs provide the first physical base to better integrate shared mobility in our cities. Still a long way to go in terms of behavioural change, platform integration etc.. Excited! What do you think?

Sustainable mobility alternatives are key to building vibrant and accessible cities. Boris Johnson's visionary move with the launch of London's cycle hire scheme back in 2010 set a precedent for embracing micromobility solutions. Despite regulatory challenges persisting, Londoners deserve sustainable transport options that are safe, convenient, and affordable. By prioritizing micromobility and investing in infrastructure, the city can move closer to achieving its modal shift target of 80% sustainable trips by 2041. #UrbanMobility #Micromobility

"The figures are better than expected --- 25% less car traffic and 36% more bicycles --- the centre is #quieter and more #pleasant, with neighbourhoods and catering industry that benefit from this" - As per the name of the Brussels mobility plan, this was indeed a #GoodMove - "Our goal was more pleasant, attractive and safer streets, with mobility as a lever to achieve this. We are succeeding in our goal, the #modalshift is going fast” More #qualityoflife results to come in a study later this year but for some of us, these early results are all we need to, once again, know that a less traffic-oriented city centre with more people choosing #sustainable modes is a more #peoplecentred place, providing a higher quality of life. #boldmoves #sustainablemobility #peoplefirst #transportation #mobilityforesight Kind regards, Dale Principal, Mobility Foresight
One year Good Move in Brussels city: 25% less car-traffic and 36% more bicycles

Mobility Case Studies🌱🚗 | Data Scientist | Unlocking the Power of Data for Smarter Mobility Solutions 🌐🚀
🔰 Are you interested in how technology can help create a more sustainable and efficient mobility system? 🎯 If so, you might want to check out what Bologna is doing to integrate multi-modal transport solutions using ITS. ITS stands for Intelligent Transport Systems, which are technologies that enable the collection, analysis, and communication of data related to transport systems. Infomobility services are applications that use ITS data to provide users with real-time information and guidance on the best transport options available. Bologna as part of the CIVITAS FastTrack and an upgraded MaaS project has been using ITS to facilitate the integration of different modes of transport, such as public transport, bike-sharing, car-sharing, and electric vehicles. ✅ One of the most innovative rewards that Bologna offers is a sustainable mobility bonus of up to €1000 for citizens who decide to give up their private car. This bonus can be used to purchase public transport tickets, bike-sharing or car-sharing subscriptions, electric bikes or scooters, or other sustainable mobility services. ☑ This project aims to transform the travel behavior in the cities by offering alternative and sustainable mobility options. It has been a difficult task to convince people to benefit from other modes of transport that are more eco-friendly and efficient. However, with these types of projects, travelers can have more choices and flexibility to switch between different transport modes without any hassle.

#UrbanMobility has undergone a significant transformation in the past two decades, shifting away from a car-centric model towards more sustainable solutions in response to the climate crisis. #SharedMobility has emerged as a game-changer Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) solution to balance the flexibility of #PrivateTransport with the social and economic benefits of #CollectiveTransport. In Europe, it's recognized as a strategic tool for sustainable urban mobility according to Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (#SUMP) Guidelines, leading to a surge in free-flow carsharing systems. Recent #ScientificResearch has focused on understanding the dynamics of free-flowing systems, where #vehicles aren't tied to specific #parking stations. Transform Transport’s latest study, "Free-Flow Carsharing Systems Part 1 – A General Overview," delves into this topic. Transform Transport conducted a preliminary analysis of vehicle data for a week from a carsharing operator in Milan in 2020. This exploratory analysis aimed to uncover patterns, anticipate research questions and shed light on the potentials and limitations of dataset analyses based on origin and destination points (where and when the vehicle is rented and parked) acquired in real time through API endpoints. Join the conversation and learn more about the evolving landscape of urban mobility and the promise of free-flow carsharing systems!
