Lisbon
EMEL (Lisbon’s Municipal Company for Mobility and Parking, an operating arm of the city council for mobility management) is working on a new concept of mobility hubs for short distance trips within the city of Lisbon. Our innovation team are currently working on the ideation of the concept with a citizen-centred approach, paying particular attention to the needs, preferences and expectations of users. Following a co-creation process, we aim to upgrade an existing bike sharing station into a new mobility hub to boost public transport and provide more connectivity to citizens.
Hub characteristics
One bike sharing docking station with capacity for 20 e-bikes
The bike sharing docking station is (will be) located near BUS stop and Metro Station
Other mobility services, amenities for improved multimodality (e.g. Wi-Fi hotspot, quick maintenance pitstop for bikes) and other added-value services (e.g. pick-up point, lockers, EV charging etc), that will be explored according the user needs and preferences.
Hub goals
Promote the use of shared mobility services by offering a variety of services in a single location.
Facilitate multimodality, such that local commuters will take their bike or use a shared mobility service in their trips in the city.
Promote the use of low-carbon transport solutions.
Results
In 2021, a total of 10.704 trips were made to and from this station. There is a clear preference for travelling on electric bicycles, as they represent 93% of the trips. This number increased to a total of 31.910 trips in 2022. Usage of the SmartHub is mainly linked to commuting trips.
