Shaping the Relationship between Public Transport and Innovative Mobility
The International Transport Forum has released a report that investigates the convergence of public transportation and mobility solutions, such as ride services, car- and bicycle-sharing, app-enabled on-demand micro-bus services, and platforms that connect app-using travelers and drivers. The research examines the role of public authorities in ensuring this convergence supports commercial innovation as well as public policy objectives. The report also explores where action may be needed to ensure that this convergence does not lead to reduced mobility options for those that have difficulty using existing transportation modes.
