Cities worldwide are striving to promote sustainable mobility options and shared mobility services have emerged as a complement to private vehicles. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has posed new challenges to this industry, highlighting the need for implementable hygienic measures. This research aims to identify service factors that can accelerate the use of shared micromobility, with a focus on hygiene.
Worldwide, cities are combating the negative impacts of extensive private motorised vehicle travels and are thus striving to accelerate a shift towards the predominant use of sustainable mobility options. Thereby, shared mobility services are emerging transportation modes, which opt as a complementary mean of transport in urban cities. Amid the current advancements of shared mobility services, the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic accelerated an immense shift in consumer demand and preferences, consequently posing new challenges. In this instance, the testing and validation of implementable hygienic measures has become a key factor for service providers to continuously ensure an increase in clientele. Hence, this research aims to identify the service factors required to accelerate the use of shared micromobility, thereby setting strong focus on hygienic measures. The aforemen-tioned is fulfilled by the means of a quantitative study. Results have indicated an interest in hygiene; however, respondents' main requirements lie in factors that are not particular to the service provider.
