The Israeli transit planning application 'Moovit' announced the 'Moovit x Lime' partnership with the popular electric micro-mobility rental company. Through this partnership, Moovit will integrate Lime's electric scooters, bikes, and mopeds into its services, allowing users to choose these options while planning a trip. With this new addition, Moovit now features full support for public transit, ridesharing, and micro-mobility transportation options.
The Senior Manager of Lime's corporate communications, Tiffani Gibson, stated ""Moovit captures a market specifically focused on planning commutes and local travel, and helping users access micro-mobility as part of those journeys will hopefully reduce car travel and further encourage people to take public transit again," signifying that this partnership will not only increase the attractiveness of the application in customers' eyes, but also reduce emissions and promote eco-friendly transportation methods across Israel.
The Moovit application is commonly used for local trips such as commuting to work, rather than longer trips such as cross-country vacations. As a result of this, micro-mobility is expected to be a popular option for commuters due to its ease of use and convenience.
