Mobility Point (Budapest, Hungary)
Area: urban
Date implemented: 2020
How long from concept to implementation: 1 year
Relation between efforts undertaken and benefits achieved: good
What was done and how: A Mobility Point Network was implemented with 4 locations in the 11th district of Budapest; the network launched on 2 March 2020. The Mobility Point Network ensures that several modes of transport and services can be accessed at a central location for everyone. Locals and tourists alike can choose from bike sharing, electric mopeds, e-scooter sharing, e-car sharing services.
Why it worked to 'fast track' the innovation/measure: The mobility points were co-designed with local communities. The whole planning process had a dynamic nature, the project locations served as real-life urban mobility experiments, where we could evaluate feedback and then re-iterate the process with a revised approach.
Lessons learnt: The project team has gained a reliable understanding of micromobility solutions and Budapest can now further expand and introduce Micromobility Point Network services in several other districts.
Tips for replication: use a bottom-up, collaborative process.
