How cities can use shared micromobility data for transportation planning and policy
This study, focused on Bloomington and Washington, D.C, gleaned insights on micromobility from Lime trip data. (Bloomington’s response was to summarily throw Lime out on their micromobile ear, for some reason. I do not understand this.)
“About a quarter of street segments have bike infrastructure, yet these lanes account for nearly 60% of
Lime trips.”
The challenge is keeping people from stealing the bikes and ruining it for everyone. If someone steals your Citi bike in NY, you’re on the hook for $1,200.
