More than 100 million people in Europe have caregiving responsibilities, and another 100 million people live with disabilities, yet most public transport services are not designed with these needs in mind. At the same time, there is a steadily growing ageing population, with the number of individuals over the age of 80 doubling in the past decade in Europe, increasing the demand for mobility solutions available for all age groups. Addressing these challenges is essential, not only for social inclusion but also for maximising the efficiency and sustainability of transport networks.
The 2025 Better Mobility Trendreport, researched and authored by EIT Urban Mobility, Impact Hub Vienna, and Point&, highlights the urgent need for a more inclusive, sustainable and accessible mobility landscape that accommodates a wider range of people, including caregivers, individuals with disabilities, and the elderly.
