Mobility as a service (MaaS) solutions provider Moovit and shared micromobility provider TIER have joined forces. The new partnership will provide users with offered more convenient first and last mile options. With a shared vision to get more cars off the road, Moovit will show users where nearby TIER scooters are available, in real-time, in 77 cities across 13 countries.
As more COVID restrictions lift, traffic will increase once again in many European countries. Offering more alternative travel options will help riders save time getting to their destination and reduce the need for a private car for first and last-mile journeys. About one out of three TIER riders predominantly uses e-scooters during the week for commuting or running personal appointments and almost half of TIER users take e-scooters as a first-/last- mile solution, combining it with other modalities. However, many people still drive their car to connect with main transport hubs.
