We kick off our season with Anthony Barba, publisher of newsletter This Week in Mobility. Today we give you insights into:
- Did COVID–19 cause challenges to shared mobility, or did it just accelerate those same trends that were hiding in plain sight?
- Cities are hyper-focused on increasing mobility subsidies, as well as passenger and driver safety. Is it at all possible everywhere?
- Did Intel just tell the world they want to beat Google and Uber? Chip producer just bought Moovit for a staggering amount — 900 million USD.
- A significant change in MaaS Global (Whim) leadership: does it spell out the end for Helsinki-based Mobility as a Service company’s vision?
- Finally, Uber just dumped a beloved brand — JUMP — and invested 170 million USD into Lime. Did they just future-buy a discounted electric scooter from a garage sale?
