The role of shared mobility in building smarter cities

By reducing congestion, lowering emissions, and promoting a healthier, more inclusive lifestyle, bike-sharing continues to drive the vision of smarter cities. At Lyft Urban Solutions, we are proud to contribute to this transformation with forward-looking solutions that enhance urban life.
