Description

For the last episode in Season 3, I’m joined by Tom Nutley of Urban Sharing to dive into the state of micromobility: what’s working, what isn’t - and why.

We explore the roots of the industry, from 1960s bike shares to the scooter boom, and discuss how cities have too often repeated past mistakes. Tom argues passionately that micromobility must be treated as part of the public transport ecosystem, with proper funding and infrastructure, and not just a revenue grab or VC play. We challenge both cities and operators to rethink their roles and stop pointing fingers, emphasising the urgent need for long-term integration, especially for underserved areas and first/last mile journeys.

Whether you're a policymaker, transport professional or just curious about urban mobility, this is a compelling and thought-provoking conversation about getting it right. Tom doesn’t hold back!

I’ll be back in May with Season 4!
