Seattle is busting the myth that micromobility won't work in US Cities. Shared micromobility trips went from 2.3 million in 2021 to 10.53 million in 2025. I sat down with Kim Pearson, Shared mobility Program Manager at @seattledot to unpack this growth. Just in the last year, shared micromobility trips went up by ~70%! What's even more intersting is that Seattle started with multiple operators - Jump, Bird, Lime, ofo, Link, Wheels, Spin and may be more. Today, Seattle has just @limebike as the only operator. For Lime, the growth is even more substantial, going from ~900k trips in 2019 to >10million trips in 2025 Few interesting observations: - As infrastructure expanded, trips grew - Recent spike in growth can be attributed to the introduction of seated scooters (Lime Gliders) - Utilization of seated scooters was ~2x vs scooters and ~x vs e-bikes I learned a tonne talking to Kim and if you want to see know how cities can transform with micromobility, you shouldn't miss this episode. Thanks a lot for doing this, Kim! It was a pleasure talking to you. #mobility #transportation #seattle
