Micromobility Users and Utilization 53 Note that these figures simply describe the differences in the commuting habits of scooter adopters compared with non-adopters across metro types; they do not represent causal relationships or tell us anything about non-commute trips.

From page 55... ... Micromobility Users and Utilization 55 Together, the trip purpose and reasoning results suggest that shared scooters were more likely to be used for utilitarian purposes in high-density, transit-oriented areas, as compared with lower-density regions where they were used less frequently and primarily for social trips. Scooters' low prices also appear to remain an important selling point for a significant minority of users. Read the entire page →
