Shared Micro-mobility: A Panacea or a Patch for Our Urban Transport Problems?
Shared micro-mobilityMicro-mobility, including station-based bike-sharingBike sharing and dock-less bike-/scooter-sharing, experienced phenomenal growth in the past decade in cities across the globe. It is low traffic impact, eco-friendly, and associated with a healthy lifestyle. Cities see it as a viable solution to solve issues related to congested, polluted, and auto-centric urban transport. In this chapter, I overview the history of shared micro-mobility. I then broadly summarize the existing research on shared micro-mobility systems around the world and explore how shared micro-mobilityMicro-mobility has transformed urban transport for its users. Using an empirical case from the city of Brisbane, Australia, I demonstrate the usage and limitations associated with shared micro-mobilityMicro-mobility trip big data. Lastly, I narrate two possible scenarios of the shared micro-mobility future. I conclude the chapter with a call for collaborations between cities, vendors, and researchers to make shared micro-mobilityMicro-mobility work for our future urban transport.
