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.
Despite making up more ridership than men, women are underrepresented in taxi and PVH operations. In light on International Women’s Day, we hear from two women leading local taxi and PHV companies in the UK about how they got to where they are today and what they want to see more of in the future.
Cities across the map are picking up momentum in regulating cars in their inner-city areas to kerb congestion and make cities more liveable for citizens. Is this new urban mobility era a threat or opportunity to ride-hail operators? We think it’s an opportunity.
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?
Grouport invests €100,000 in Mileus, with confidence that Mileus has enormous business potential and will massively reduce environmental impacts caused by traffic in our cities. The investment round remains open with a planned syndicate from angel investors to put forward another €300,000.
As 2021 wraps up, we hear from four taxi, ride-hailing & private hire experts to share their insights on trends to guide operators to succeed in 2022 & beyond.
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?
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.
“Mileus solution is more comfortable than public transport alone and cheaper than a taxi alone,” says Juraj Atlas. Mileus automatically interconnects ride-hailing services with transit system lines, improving the comfort and convenience of public transport while motivating people to leave their cars at home.
