E-scooters fulfill a demand for short, quick trips and were quickly absorbed into the mobility ecosystem, and our values of innovation and sustainable transportation enabled us to incorporate them and craft our Shared Mobility Pilot Program, where we continue to learn and innovate.” The number of journeys taken on shared bikes and e-scooters in the US more than doubled to 84 million last year. The figures, released by the National Association of City Transportation Officials, showed that scooters were the most used form of shared micromobility transportation, with 38.5 million trips, followed by station-based bikes on 36.5 million. In a report published this week, the association said it was “encouraged” by the growth of shared, electric vehicles such as Tesla’s Model S and BMW i3.
