Moovit unwraps big data from millions of journey requests performed in 99 cities across 24 countries; Combined with user research, the report depicts valuable insights about the way people moved around in 2022 using public and shared transport
San Francisco – December, 2022
Moovit, a leading Mobility as a Service (MaaS) solutions provider and creator of the popular urban mobility app, is unveiling its end of year 2022 Global Public Transport Report. The report is composed of big data analysed from tens of millions of journey requests performed by Moovit app users, coupled with user research in 99 cities across 24 countries. The result portrays a fascinating picture of how people travelled using public and shared transport “post-pandemic”, which cities experienced the hardest impact on ridership, and global rankings for the best and worst transport experiences.
In the United Kingdom, data was analysed in the following regions: London and South East, West Midlands, North West, Yorkshire, Scotland, and South West.
Metrics in the report include commute duration, wait time, number of transfers, trip distance, reasons that may encourage more public transport usage, and the impact of COVID-19 on ridership. The report also examines how and how often micro-mobility (bikes and scooters) is used.
“Almost three years ago, COVID very quickly disrupted people’s travel habits and urban congestion plunged. Moovit’s report shows that in 2022 people ventured around their cities once again, but are experiencing less efficient commutes,” said Yovav Meydad, Moovit’s Chief Growth and Marketing Officer. “With congestion on the rebound, Moovit’s 2022 Global Public Transport Report can be a beneficial tool for any city or transport agency looking for an updated and accurate picture of the daily travel habits of locals and may help in the decision-making process to make getting around more convenient.”
