Im Juni haben wir unsere neuen Produkte, Matrix mit Verkehrsmittelerkennung und Flow , erstmals vorgestellt. Your browser does not support the video tag. For two entire years, through , a previously fairly stable mobility baseline morphed into an extraordinarily dynamic, remarkably complex mosaic of travel behaviors. At first, it reflected the uncertainty of the pandemic and necessity of policy response.
Many had hoped that would be the year of recovery and return to normality. Our mobility choices reflect our own personal journeys through the pandemic and the changing economic reality. Our sense of safety and personal comfort vary immensely. Our choices do, too. Some of us have had to, or may have chosen to, go to work every day, while some have swapped commuting for remote work altogether. Many of us are still finding our own happy middle ground.
Some of us are rethinking our modal choices due to the environmental imperative to cut carbon emissions, as well as changing fuel and travel costs. As we witnessed during the recent nationwide 9-Euro-ticket initiative in Germany, which made rail transport extremely affordable over the summer, our price sensitivity when it comes to choosing public transport is, at least at the moment, very high.
While this is good news for the environment, it is also reflective of the global struggle to keep up with inflation.
Pinching pennies includes rethinking how we travel. Factors influencing mobility today are many, and we believe this will continue to be the case. We cannot tell for sure whether we will be able to find a sense of calm in , whether new normality will be found, or what it may look like should it arrive. What we are extremely proud of is the fact that we can measure it.
