GoTo Global Expands Its Multimodal Shared Mobility Service

300 electric scooters to hit Malta's roads in February 2020

TEL AVIV, Israel, Feb. 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- GoTo, a multimodal shared mobility service, present in 13 cities in 3 countries with over 1.7mn rides in 2019, is adding to its Maltese fleet of 200 cars an addition of 300 electric scooters as it focuses on providing an end-to-end shared mobility service able to become an alternative to private car ownership.

Introduced to Malta in 2018, over 200,000 trips and 1.8 kilometers were covered using the GoTo cars. The GoTo team expects similar enthusiasm for its scooters.

Gil Laser, CEO GoTo Global, said: "We are excited to see our vision for an ultimate multimodal mobility experience coming to life with the launch of our scooter fleet in Malta. We will keep adding more mobility modes in Malta and other countries striving to reduce dependency on privately-owned cars."

Scooters are smaller, lighter, more traffic-friendly and easier to park vehicles, which makes them particularly handy for shorter trips. During the closed pilot, GoTo witnessed a large number of trips that were proportionally shorter to what the company was used to with its One-Way and Round-Trip carsharing services, especially in more congested urban areas.

CEO of GoTo Malta, Gordon Bugeja, said: "This reinforces our belief that we'll be serving our customers even better by adding different solutions targeting multiple forms of transportation needs via a single platform enabling seamless multimodal mobility experience."

The company believes that in the long run shared mobility solutions will continue to rise, as they bring a more sustainable solution for people to move around, while reducing transportation expenses, traffic levels and resource waste since private cars tend to stay parked over 80% of the time.
