The Potential of Using Micromobility to Connect to Urban Rail in an Integrated Passenger Transport System

Abstract

There is a challenge of adequate planning and functioning the first and last mile problem in urban mobility. When this issue is not solved according to passenger expectations, they will often start to switch from public passenger system to cars. This is a stumbling block in the attempt to achieve a better modal split in favour of public transport. For the last few years, the new emerging technology has been micromobility. Micromobility is a new and feasible solution that encourages people to use an integrated public transport system more often. There is a useful link between micromobility and the rest of the integrated passenger transport system, especially considering a tariff policy. This paper outlines the results of a field research consisting of a survey that aimed to establish the wishes for the potential use of micromobility. The research was carried out in and around the Croatian capital – Zagreb. Research results represent the first step of implementing micromobility in an integrated passenger transport system.
