The conclusion drawn from this research show, from the customer’s perception, a positive attitude and an increasing likelihood of using the e-scooter-sharing service in the case of an integration within the public transportation system, and emphasize the benefits of the efficiency and convenience towards having the service within a single platform. However, the public transportation authority’s professionals declared on behalf of the company that despite not being interested in integrating this service at the moment due to the numerous challenges posed by the service itself, the integration is technically possible in terms of resources.
