One company, @GoZeelo, runs tech for employee bus services. It has received *hundreds* of requests for new bus routes from companies since March so that workers don't have to drive in. Full story: ft.com/content/b540a3…

Mass transit group Swvl confirms estimated $100M acquisition of UK start-up Zeelo tcrn.ch/3LtpdhN by @mikebutcher


VCs create this world. Nonsense.

1) 🚨A DECADE OF DECEPTION FROM FAST CEO: DOMM HOLLAND 🚨 Fast is closing down, largely because the company was burning an absurd $10M a month in 2021 while only generating $50k per month in sales. I checked out the history of their CEO, Domm Holland, and it is... interesting.

For anyone who has followed the Uber story

Uber is a bezzle ("the magic interval when a confidence trickster knows he has the money he has appropriated but the victim does not yet understand that he has lost it"). Every bezzle ends. Uber's time is up. 1/

Forget escooters. This startup is betting buses are the future of mobility

While a lot of mobility startups are focused on micromobility and ride-hailing for big cities, Zeelo is providing buses for rural areas.


I contributed to this piece by @TheChrisPrice on the future of commuting. Lots of interesting perspectives. Here’s one: “....this is the start of commuting as a benefit. This might be the point where the commute becomes the responsibility...of the employer” @GoZeelo

Great to be featured on @Siftedeu as one of the startups that are fighting climate change. Sustainability is at the heart of what we do every day and in 2020 we saved over 3,560 tonnes in CO2 emissions. That's the equivalent of planting 186,059 trees🍃 sifted.eu/articles/start…

Fall seems to be the season for Mobility-as-a-Service panels and debates. Speaking at several has led me to reflect on my own MaaS journey, summarized in the 🧵 below (w/article links). TLDR: Despite great promise and hype, very few people use MaaS today. We need new models.

I believe our politicians are not having the correct conversation. Sadly, the moral debate is not is not lives versus the economy. It is lives versus lives. I fear unemployment, poverty, mental health issues, crime & future austerity will risk far more lives than C-19.

Dear @NicolaSturgeon, I realise you are in an extremely difficult position. But, as someone who employs over 2,000 people, I do not think you comprehend the damage your decisions are doing to the livelihoods & futures of millions of people. Could we chat about it over a beer?

You've all heard of ride-sharing, micro-mobility and DRT but there's a growing and important mobility category emerging. One that focusses on solving the daily commute; both the single-occupancy car problem and creating new employment opportunities. linkedin.com/pulse/new-mobi…

linkedin.com

A new mobility category was born (and you haven’t even noticed) - Corporate Bus Sharing technology

Over the past decade, we have seen great disruption across the mobility industry. Since Uber’s launch in 2010, ride-hailing has become an integral part of our lives.
