Mobility hubs are a promising concept that has been gaining increased attention. Mobility hubs, a place where several (shared) modalities are combined, are seen as an enabler of shared mobility. Shared mobility and mobility hubs could therefore provide attractive alternatives for private vehicles and contribute to municipal policy goals. Like to create more accessible and liveable cities. This study explores the influencing factors for the usage and effects of neighbourhood mobility hubs through an ex-post evaluation of some already existing neighbourhood mobility hubs in the Netherlands. This is examined in a qualitative manner by employing a literature review, applying qualitative system dynamics methodology and conducting semi-structured interviews. A causal loop diagram is constructed that visualises the complexity of mobility hubs and shows the various factors and relations that influence the usage and effects of mobility hubs. The diagram shows that while there is potential, there is also still uncertainty about the precise effects (such as private car usage and ownership), as they may be either positive or negative. The research has contributed to filling the scientific gap on (neighbourhood) mobility hubs, and by mapping influencing factors and effects, provided a framework for further future evaluation of mobility hubs.

This thesis provides an insight into the role of dockless shared-bikes (Mobike) in Delft. The objective of is to fill the knowledge gap about the users of shared-bicycles and their motivations to use shared-bikes in Delft. A survey is and finally gained 91 useful results. 76% of respondents are students, and in general, people are highly educated. 46% of respondents are commuters who work/study in Delft, 5% are tourists, and the other half are living in Delft. Most of the Delft’s inhabitants also own a bike; they are classified as ‘casual’, occasional Mobike users with the main reason to use Mobike as a temporary replacement for their own bike. Most of the commuters, who live outside of Delft, do not own a bike in and use Mobike every (week)day. Their main motivator to use Mobike is out of convenience. All this information finally leads to the main conclusion about the role of dockless shared-bike in sustainable mobility in Delft. From this research, it turned out that 98% of Mobike trips is replacing trips made with other sustainable transport modes such as walking, other forms of cycling and public transport.
