Summary
The report discusses the rapid growth of cities and the impact it has on urban transport systems.
Currently, only half of the world's population has access to convenient public transport, leading to limited access to jobs, education, and social inclusion. Shared mobility, which includes ride-hailing, car-sharing, e-bikes, and e-scooters, has emerged as a potential solution to these transport hurdles. It offers sustainable, efficient, safe, and affordable transport on demand. Shared mobility is projected to double its share of the urban transport mix from 3% in 2023 to an estimated 7% in 2030, with a forecasted market size of close to $400 billion. The report aims to evaluate the impact of shared mobility on attaining a more sustainable urban living environment, focusing on urban economics, social inclusion, and environmental impact. It examines factors such as income opportunities, accessibility, safety, affordability, and emissions. The report also provides a global perspective, comparing developed markets in Europe to rapidly emerging ones in Africa. It is based on a comprehensive set of studies, surveys, databases, and primary research, including proprietary data provided by Bolt, a global mobility company. The report is divided into five sections, exploring the shared mobility industry, its economic, social, and environmental impact, and offering insights on implementing and growing shared mobility offerings in different city archetypes.
