D espite making up more ridership than men, women are underrepresented in taxi and PVH the operations. In light on International Women’s Day, we hear from two women leading local taxi and PHV companies in the UK about how they got to where they are today and what they want to see more of in the future. At Mileus, we know we’re not the only ones concerned about a sustainable and prosperous future for the taxi and PHV industry. We need innovative technologies, smarter regulations and policies, and more cross-sector collaboration – but we also need more diversity among the minds shaping this ..read more

J uraj Atlas was at the birth of the Czech transportation startup, Liftago, and his mission to improve the way people get around in the cities continued in his following career step. To take mobility to the next level, he introduced Mileus — a platform that combines taxi services with public transport two years ago. Before the outbreak of the pandemic last year, the startup received ten million Czech crowns from investors, and another million last week. Although the corona outbreak delayed initial plans to launch the service, Mileus has now announced its first launch in Bratislava in ..read more

E Vs, food delivery, micro mobility services — these are just some of the ways ride-hail companies have started to innovate their services in recent years. But what’s the next big thing? Collaboration with public transit, and it’s not just Uber doing it. This is an opportunity for ride-hail, taxi, and PHV operators – big and small. Yes, it is true that local authorities and ride-hailing services have historically been seen to clash since ride-hailing first entered the urban mobility scene circa 2010. We saw public transit ridership drop as cheap ride-hailing services swooped up those commu ..read more

F uel and electricity costs, supply chains, inflation – it hasn’t been and it won’t be an easy year with these factors driving up prices. Just as these factors impact costs for suppliers, who will likely have to raise end prices for consumers, consumers are jointly being hit by these price increases and are likely to be more shy with their spendings. Ride-hail and taxi operators are by no means exempt from these challenges and they will have to get creative to keep customers using their services. They do not hold pricing power, the ability to raise prices and retain customers, like say com ..read more

S ustainable urban mobility – this is something on everyone’s mind: local-authorities, taxi, ride-hail and PHV operators, and consumers. Electric vehicles (EVs) are getting a lot of attention, as they can be a swift solution to emissions issues. But they are not a magic bullet solution to all our issues. Beyond reducing car emissions, we also need to radically rethink how we use cars, and taxi, ride-hail, and PHV operators have a big role in this shift. Just around the corner in 2025, it is already expected that 10% of car sales globally will be EVs. Norway is leading this charge full spee ..read more

S ince the first omnibuses took to the streets in the 1800s, public transit has evolved a fair bit. Today, local authorities are under mounting pressure to continue innovating how they deliver and support public transit to better serve citizens in a way that is also sustainable for the environment. And as they innovate, we see a new era of cross-sector collaboration.   When we think of public transit, we think of fine print schedules, paper tickets, buses, trams, and metros steadfastly humming around a city. But of course this wasn’t always the case.  London pioneered public tran ..read more

I n wake of ambitious carbon targets, European cities are rolling out clean air initiatives with combustion engine car restrictions and bans from their city centres, giving advantages to EVs. But, several cities are further paving the way to limit the number of vehicles in their city centres regardless of the engine type. Such moves are backed by several motivations that go further than just cutting carbon emissions. Traffic restrictions can reduce congestion on roads, giving the advantage to shared and essential vehicles and public transport. It opens up urban space for new opportunities ..read more

C limate change and growing populations are two factors spurring us from both sides to rethink and redo mobility in and around our cities. In the 21st century, society grew to love the private car as it  evolved to be the status quo mode of mobility. But today, we see and experience the long string of negative externalities they’re creating. We need innovation, namely electric and shared mobility, to cut our environmental impact in wake of the climate crisis and to improve the quality of urban living. However, such an idea is only the first step. The next step, and perhaps the bigger ..read more

J uraj Atlas was at the birth of the Czech ride-hailing company, Liftago.  Two years ago he decided to change the way people move around the cities with another startup.

Most recently, the angel fund Grouport, from the Depo Ventures group, invested ..read more
