Visual form

Diverging mode-comparison chart.

Layout / body structure

The chart uses a central baseline with use more above and use less below, so each transportation mode is read as a vertical balance between upward and downward responses.

What is being compared

It compares planned future use of transportation modes such as hailed mobility, shared micromobility, car sharing, and private vehicles.

Measurement system

The measure is percent of respondents, with each mode positioned against the same up-versus-down usage framework rather than against a time axis.

Visible structure inside the graphic

Mode labels anchor the categories, the central horizontal rule separates increased from decreased usage, and the marks on each mode show which side of the balance is stronger.

Main takeaway from the visual

Shared-mobility options lean toward higher future use, while private vehicles stand out as the category more likely to move in the opposite direction.

Key standout values or extremes

The major visual contrast is between the upward pull for shared modes and the downward tilt for private vehicles, which is the outlier in the set.

Controls / sequence, when applicable

This is a static chart image with no in-chart controls to operate.

Companion media, when applicable

There is no separate companion audio or video; the chart image is the full visual on this page.


The shift to shared mobility

Mobility | Travel & Transportation

July 26, 2023 – Consumers are increasingly looking to shared, more sustainable ways of getting around. According to partner Kersten Heineke and colleagues, the three main forms of shared mobility—hailed mobility, shared micromobility, and car sharing—are on the rise. Thirty percent of respondents said they would use private vehicles less than they do now, compared with 20 percent who said they would use them more.

Many survey respondents plan to use shared-mobility and micromobility options more frequently in the future.
