The company始s e-scooter sharing service was used聽primarily by locals, with more than 82% of users living in the capital. Some 70% of Lime trips took place on the Pest side of the capital, with Andr谩ssy 煤t and Kisk枚r煤t being the busiest areas in terms of Lime traffic.
The business says that scooter trips cover "the first and last kilometers of urban commute", such as the distance between a tram stop and a user始s home.聽This was also confirmed by Lime始s Budapest data for the past six months, according to which the median duration of the Budapest e-scooter trips was 10 minutes. Lime registered the highest usage of its services on November 16, which the company attributes to favorable weather conditions.
"The six months since the launch of Lime in Budapest have been a real success story, not only because of the great interest and curiosity the inhabitants showed for our services but also because we are involved in the forward-looking and efficient development of urban transport," says Tam谩s T贸th, Lime始s operations manager in Hungary.
