Shared micromobility is incredibly popular, saves residents time, and helps reduce traffic and wear on local roads. Yet some bike and scooter share systems faced financial issues in 2023, and rider costs are rising dramatically in many cities. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

“In the 15 years since #bikeshare premiered in North America, shared #micromobility has become an essential part of how people of a variety of backgrounds travel through many cities in everyday life.” - Ryan Russo, NACTO 👉 cities-today.com/us-and-canada-… #escooters #urbanmobility
