“Providing Moovit users with a full suite of travel choices is essential to ensuring that public and shared transport is more attractive than using a private car," said Luke Redfern, Moovit's UK partnerships manager.

"It’s great to see organisations such as Zwings pioneering change to our mobility system and bringing e-scooters to UK towns and cities.

"This partnership means users have reliable, accurate and up-to-date information on the availability of Zwings vehicles at all times.”
