Sustainable urban mobility – this is something on everyone’s mind: local-authorities, taxi, ride-hail and PHV operators, and consumers. Electric vehicles (EVs) are getting a lot of attention, as they can be a swift solution to emissions issues. But they are not a magic bullet solution to all our issues. Beyond improving car emissions, we also need to radically change how we use cars, and taxi, ride-hail, and PHV operators have a big role in this shift.
Since the first omnibuses took to the streets in the 1800s, public transit has evolved a fair bit. Today, local authorities are under mounting pressure to continue innovating how they deliver and support public transit to better serve citizens in a way that is also sustainable for the environment. And as they innovate, we see a new era of cross-sector collaboration.
Urban centres are the usual hotbed for innovation, and this is no exception for new forms of shared and electric mobility. But how do we get this innovation to suburbs where it is needed most to kerb commuting and congestion issues?
With Mileus’s new launch in Bratislava, residents can now enjoy the best of public transit and ride-hailing when they order a ride with Hopin — the largest Slovak ride-hail operator.
Autonomous vehicles will level market entry with easier and cheaper fleet management, inviting non-traditional ride-hail operators to the compete in the market. So who could be the next Uber?
Cities across the world are implementing fare-free public transportation to address mounting congestion and CO2 emission challenges. But will it be the champion urban mobility solution? This I am not sure about.
From magazines, to podcasts and wider platforms, here are our top places to get urban mobility news, trends, and insights.
When it comes to sustainability, transportation is often seen more as an issue. At Mileus, we believe it doesn’t have to drive us away from Sustainable Development Goals. Actually, quite the opposite.
How to leverage digital technology to interconnect public transport with taxi & ride-hail services to optimize the entire system and effectively reduce the number of cars in cities and congestion? That’s what Mileus was founded for.
Juraj Atlas has raised a pre-seed round of 400,000€ for his new startup Mileus that aims to improve the overall traffic situation in large European cities. The platform will make travelling easier by interconnecting public transport with ride-hailing services.
