"In both D.C. and Paris, the majority of e-scooter trips provided access to transit. In the American capital, 58 percent of trips started, and 72 percent of trips ended, near a Washington Metro station."
"The report found that while Lime's overall ridership grew in both the Bronx and Queens, the ratio between trips starting and ending near the subway and overall trips remained largely consistent."
"A targeted expansion of the city's scooter share combined with coordinating transit and micromobility fares would increase those percentages in the Big Apple."
"Lime attributed the limited impact on car use to the isolated geography of the current e-scooter program, which operates in the East Bronx and Eastern Queens."
A report by the Rudin Center for Transportation suggests that New York City should enhance its e-scooter share program to better connect neighborhoods to public transit. The analysis compared New York's program to those in Paris and Washington, D.C., where e-scooters significantly improve access to transit. In New York, only 41% of Lime rides in the Bronx and 22% in Queens started or ended near subway stations. The report recommends targeted expansion and fare coordination to increase these percentages.
