A final aspect related to MaaS, which is also a result from the first operational data, is the importance of being supported by a reliable and high-quality public transport service, which should represent the backbone of urban mobility, coupled to other transport modes for first-mile and last-mile solutions.

3.3 Shared Mobility—Sharing Assets or Trips?

The concept of shared mobility embraces a large variety of technologies and mobility models, from car sharing, bike sharing, and other shared vehicles (e.g., electric scooters) to ride-hailing and carpooling, which in turn involves the sharing of the very same trip by multiple users. These models have a different diffusion in world regions, depending also on existing contexts and specific problems (such as population density, income levels, pollution, and congestion levels etc.). However, they are generally appearing in urban contexts, especially in large cities where the high density of inhabitants allows a more interesting economic profitability.

The most significant aspect that diversifies shared mobility options is whether they are based on the sharing of a vehicle at different times, or rather on the aggregation of different users that need to do the same trip. All the shared mobility options have in common the aim of going beyond the usual mobility model centered on private car ownership, either by providing the users with alternative transport modes, or by increasing the average load factor of cars, that usually remains well below two people per car in many developed countries.
