“…In the opinion of many researchers, sharing the unused resources contributes to the efficiency improvement of their use. In other words, SMS should result in both economic (additional revenues and savings), social (access to services, convenience, additional functionalities) and environmental benefits (reduction in energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, PM2.5 pollution and traffic congestion and noise) [1,3,[43][44][45][46][47]. However, there is evidence that this positive impact of sharing on sustainability is not an unequivocal one [47].…”

“…It is about the shared use of a vehicle, motorcycle, scooter, bicycle, or other travel mode that provides users with short-term access to a transportation mode on an as-needed basis [1,2]. Accessing them is provided by the digital platforms related to Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) [3]. The presented SMS is defined as a type of the real-time car sharing based on location.…”

“Sustainability” as a Motive for Choosing Shared-Mobility Services: The Case of Polish Consumers of Uber Services

(1) Background: Uber Technologies are currently changing the pattern of urban transport. Statista reports that in the period 2017–2019 alone, the average monthly number of active Uber users worldwide increased by 126.5%, and the average monthly number of Uber trips grew by 115%. The purpose of this article is to identify the most important motives encouraging both current and potential customers to use Uber “taxi” services. Particular attention was paid to the factor of perceiving these services as a more sustainable way of meeting transport needs. Uber creates its image specifically on the idea of sustainability. (2) Methods: The operationalization of the sustainability concept was based on three dimensions: ecological, social and economic. The CAWI (Computer-Assisted Web Interview) technique was used to collect the research data. The representative research sample covered 1003 Poles. A logistic regression model was used to analyze empirical data collected based on the survey. The data analysis used R program and the selected packages for this program. (3) Results: Among the most important motives, sustainability is the most frequently indicated. (4) Conclusions: The choices of Uber services are significantly influenced by the reasons related to two sustainability pillars—one social and one economic. The factors significantly influencing consumer decision-making processes related to the use of shared mobility services belong to the following groups of motives: sustainable development, knowledge of information and communication technologies (ICT), innovation, user convenience and savings. The findings from the study can become the basis for organizations and local authorities to undertake appropriate marketing activities to promote shared-mobility services (SMS) and support sustainable and environmentally friendly development.

“…Car-sharing exempts the ownership of a private car, improving the utilization rate of cars rather than leaving them most of the time at the car park and reducing the private car ownership. Ride-hailing is an on-demand transport service to match drivers and passengers intelligently through a platform or pp, which is believed to power up public transit in MaaS (Campisi et al, 2021). Ride-splitting allows passengers to share a common route within one car and is examined to reduce the fleet size of operated vehicles (Chan et al, 2012; Yan et al, 2020).…”

“…The diversity of integrated transport services also contributes to the complementary of them. For instance, in the real-world MaaS practice, on-demand service, such as the community transport service (Mulley et al, 2018), is found to improve the travel convenience of suburban and rural areas where regular bus service is not considered as economically proﬁtable (Campisi et al, 2021; Qiao and Yeh, 2021), and can provide services for particular categories of users, such as those with disabilities (Campisi et al, 2021) and the elderly (Aberle, 2020). That is, these, to some degree, avoid the social exclusion (Hawkins et al, 2020) and the tech-gentrification (Pangbourne et al, 2020) problem of MaaS.…”

The debate about how Mobility as a Service (MaaS) will revolutionize individual and collective mobility is gaining increasing attention from researchers, industries, and public sectors. MaaS is expected to create a techno-utopia with a new organization and operation of transport systems where residents have equal access to instant and ubiquitous mobility services. However, transport service is an artifact that is highly dependent on the construction of urban infrastructure. The success of MaaS requires the support of urban infrastructure that we categorize as (1) transport-flow infrastructure, (2) information-flow infrastructure, and (3) computing-flow infrastructure. The connotation of urban infrastructure here includes not only conventional concepts, such as transportation infrastructure, but also intelligent transportation concepts, such as high-speed communication networks and autonomous fleets. Moreover, travel behavior data collected by city sensors, communication networks, and intelligent vehicles require appropriate infrastructures to dynamically compute for fleet dispatch and demand-supply match. Based on the degree of integration of these infrastructures, MaaS projects will have different results in varying cities. From concept to practice, given that a vast disparity in infrastructure exists between cities, we need an inclusive, mobile, and global understanding of the MaaS concept to make it successful in different parts of the world.

“…The current times, with the increasingly frequent manifestation of critical environmental events and, especially with the pandemic from Covid 19, have seen the need for a profound review of urban public spaces ( [13], [14]). In this context, the usability of public space has become the priority condition for ensuring health, control over the environment and relations between people but at the same time relaunching the mobility of people and utilitarian, recreational and social activities [15].…”

Faced with the global epidemiological situation during the last two years, which has inevitably limited and affected the daily routines, this paper focused on how urban spaces can adapt to shifting demands. Specifically, it is important to consider the catering activities that, after a series of closures during the imposed lockdowns, are unable to fulfil the demands of the shifting requirements during the reopening phases, owing to a lack of open available spaces. This criticality is amplified in an urban environment, where converting public properties into "commercial" uses is difficult, if not impossible, owing to the lack of available spaces. However, in many Italian scenarios, local administrations have created concession spaces on carriageways, turning in some instances parking stalls into refreshment areas, in order to address the demand of restaurateurs penalised by these circumstances. Despite this solution has solved the problem of those activities, it raises two concerns: the first is about safety, because the solutions adopted are exposed to vehicular traffic, and the second is regarding pedestrian passages' flow. This is the circumstance that motivated the authors to conduct an assessment of the contingent reality in the Sardinian capital city, Cagliari, evaluating alternative and definitive solutions for urban space regeneration.
