Being mobile individually, at any time, without owning a car represents an environmentally conscientious lifestyle. To facilitate this, public transportation authorities cooperate with service providers for new forms of mobility such as bicycle sharing, car sharing or ridepooling. Researchers of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) studied how publicly available mobility options in the Karlsruhe region in the future can optimally fulfill citizens' needs. The result: Widespread availability of pooling and sharing services and improved public transportation will profit both—and reduce car traffic.
