ABSTRACT
iv
Shared mobility modes have become a common feature in the mobility scenario in urban
areas throughout the world. Bike sharing systems have been in existence in Europe and
various parts of North America since the 1990s in various forms like public bike sharing,
closed campus bike sharing and peer to peer bike sharing. More recently technological
advances have led to the entry of dockless bikes, e-bikes, e-scooters, motorized scooters
and motorized e-scooters in the mobility market attempting to solve the problems of urban
transport. Numerous studies have captured the characteristics and henceforth the impacts
and benefits of such systems. At present, mobility in India is heavily car dominant and
efforts are being made to popularize public transport and shift the balance towards a
sustainable mode choice. In this context shared modes of transport have made entry in the
urban transport landscape in India. On-demand car sharing services, bike-share and more
recently scooter share have become an integral part of mobility in urban areas.
Keywords: shared mobility, bike share, ride share, car share, ride splitting, ride sourcing,
