When we think of shared mobility, services like Uber, Lime, and the OV-fiets often come to mind—innovative yet costly options that remain inaccessible for many. Meanwhile, billions are already being spent to keep public transport affordable. This raises a crucial question: What if we could integrate the principles of universally affordable public transport with shared mobility? Such a combination could unveil groundbreaking solutions, including public transportation tailored to social housing, a national shared bike system, or corporate sharing systems.
Exploring these possibilities, five documentary films and two books by Geert Kloppenburg thoroughly examine the potential of shared bikes and cars in various scenarios and with different stakeholders.
