Moovit has teamed up with Tier, currently providing e-scooters for the London trials, to show users where nearby scooters are in 77 cities, across 13 countries, including the UK.
The Mobility as a Service (MaaS) provider will add the real-time locations of Tier e-scooters to its app. Providing directions and walking times to its location. This service is designed to provide users with more convenient first and last mile options, as well as achieving the partnership’s goal of getting more cars off the road.
“Offering more alternative forms of transport that can easily get people to their destination is a critical component of any Mobility as a Service platform,” said Yovav Meydad, Moovit’s chief of growth and marketing officer.
“That’s why we are excited to partner with Tier and empower riders to more easily combine micromobility with public transport to enjoy the most efficient ways of getting around some of the most congested cities in the world.”
According to the partnership, one in three Tier riders predominantly use e-scooters during the week for commuting or running personal appointments and almost half of users take e-scooters as a first or last- mile solution, combining it with other modalities.
It added that many people still drive cars to connect with main transport hubs. “Our mission to change mobility for good is largely about creating strong partnerships to expand everyone’s access to sustainable, easily accessible and multimodal mobility solutions,” said Tinia Mühlfenzl, director of market development at Tier.
“Teaming up with a leading MaaS solutions provider will allow us to expand access to our micromobility services in many cities across Europe and the Middle East.”
Moovit users can find Tier e-scooters in cities through-out Austria, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Norway, Poland, Qatar, Slovakia, Sweden, Switzerland, United Arab Emirates and the UK.
