Lime and What3words team up to clean up abandoned escooters
Integration
Last week Lime announced a partnership with transit mapping appCitymapperto allow users to easily locate Lime’s e-bikes and scooters in 21 major cities around the world, including London, San Francisco, Paris, Berlin, Manchester, Los Angeles, Seattle, Chicago, Cleveland, Denver, Austin, Washington DC, St Louis, Sydney, Lisbon, Brussels, Madrid, Stockholm, Hamburg, Dusseldorf, and Vienna.
While users will be able to find Lime’s vehicles within the app, they will still need to switch over to the Lime app to rent a device, and switch back to Citymapper or another navigation app to find the most bike-friendly route.
As part of the London partnership, Citymapper’sSuper Duperpass – which providers commuters with £10 (US$13) of Lime ride credits per week – will now include Lime as its exclusive e-micromobility provider.
Alex Thomas, Partnerships Lead at Citymapper, said: “We’re excited to launch this partnership with Lime. Micromobility is changing how we get around cities, and COVID-19 has made alternatives like cycles and scooters an even more important part of our urban infrastructure. Users can now view their cycle and scooter trip routes alongside public transport options in the Citymapper app, and then be guided to their destination in real-time with our turn-by-turn directions.”
