This research aims to explore the implications of population size on public policy for bike share via a rigorous comparison of the strongly performing bike share systems of two cities with notably varying population sizes: Tartu, Estonia (pop. 93 000) and Helsinki, Finland (pop. 920 000).
This Moblity Lab serves as both a partner and host to Canadian postdoctoral researcher Karl Saidla, with funding being provided by the Estonian Research Council via the Mobilitas Pluss incoming postdoctoral grant program.
