Data from the latest Report of the National Observatory on Sharing Mobility promoted by the Ministry of Ecological Transition, the Ministry of Infrastructure and Sustainable Mobility and the Foundation for Sustainable Development showed that Rome is at the top of the list of Italian cities in terms of demand for and use of shared vehicles.
The use of shared mobility is increasingly widespread, especially in the central areas of the city and on the Ostia coast, with a growing number of users using bicycles, scooters and electric scooters to reach their destinations. In fact, in the period from January 2021 to June 2022, rentals grew by 83 percent, touching 1.2 million in June, mainly of scooters. In terms of daily rentals, however, bicycles surpassed scooters, thanks in part to the creation of new bike-sharing services with electric vehicles.
In the international scenario, Rome is the sixth European capital for shared bikes (25,000 in Paris, 5,000 in Rome) and the fifth for the number of shared scooters (30,000 in Berlin, 13,000 in Rome).
