In this episode recorded live at the Global Mobility Call 2024 in Madrid, Benjamin de la Peña (  / bdelapena  ) , CEO of the Shared-Use Mobility Center, explores how shared and popular transportation systems are key to creating equitable, accessible, and sustainable mobility solutions worldwide. Benjamin discusses the overlooked role of informal or “popular” transportation—such as tuk-tuks, jeepneys, and minibus taxis—and why they remain vital to urban mobility in cities across the Global South and beyond. Key topics include integrating these systems into public policy, the impact of digital platforms and cashless payments, and the challenges of scaling shared mobility in both urban and rural areas. With a focus on equity, innovation, and rethinking transport beyond private car dependency, the conversation highlights how cities can harness shared mobility to create more inclusive, efficient, and climate-friendly transportation networks.
