# The Micromobility Tendencies of People and Their Transport Behavior
## 5 Discussion  
Micromobility represents a shift in urban transportation, offering flexible, environmentally friendly alternatives to traditional modes of transportation. It encompasses a range of options such as electric scooters, bicycles, and shared mobility services. Of course, all means of micromobility also require infrastructure and good technical conditions [62], especially e-vehicles [63]. Micromobility has the potential to alleviate the traffic congestion in urban areas. Micromobility options are efficient means of transportation for covering short trips, which make up a substantial portion of urban travel. By integrating these modes into existing transportation systems, cities can provide last-mile connectivity and reduce the reliance on private vehicles. Interestingly, the efforts of European cities have a higher likelihood of substituting short trips traveled by public transport or cars. Residents can undertake these trips using electric scooters suitable for covering shorter distances (shorter in Europe than in America). These insights are from article [23], which compares various studies exploring electric scooters. However, careful planning and infrastructure considerations are necessary to ensuring their safe and seamless integration [64]. Micromobility holds promise for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving air quality. Electric scooters and bicycles produce minimal or no emissions during their operation, making them environmentally friendly alternatives [64]. Shared micromobility services can also lead to a reduction in the overall number of vehicles on the road. Electric bicycles, according to [24], have the potential to replace passenger cars. However, life cycle assessments considering the environmental impact of manufacturing and disposal are essential for a comprehensive evaluation of their sustainability benefits. Advancements in technology play a vital role in the growth of micromobility. Electric-powered vehicles with an improved battery efficiency and range have made micromobility more accessible and convenient. The integration of intelligent technologies, such as GPS tracking and mobile applications, has enabled efficient fleet management, user-friendly interfaces, and enhanced safety features [65; 66]. Ongoing research and development in materials, propulsion systems, and connectivity will further enhance the performance and reliability of micromobility options. Safety is a critical concern in the widespread adoption of micromobility. The compact size and vulnerability of micromobility vehicles pose unique risks, necessitating appropriate safety measures. Helmets, dedicated infrastructure, and public awareness campaigns are essential components of ensuring the safety of riders and pedestrians. Additionally, regulatory frameworks are necessary to address the problems related to vehicle standards, parking, liability, and user behavior. In our article, we found that the respondents were aware of the need to change their traffic behavior. Over half of the respondents agreed with the statement about the importance of changing traffic behavior. The average score on the Likert scale was 3.46. Therefore, we can confirm hypothesis H1. Furthermore, we used a correlation analysis to find out whether level of education affected changes in traffic behavior. This hypothesis can also be accepted. The correlation coefficient between the mentioned variables was higher than 0.50, i.e., 0.532 at the 0.01 significance level. The last hypothesis we tested was H3: there is a relationship between the will to change traffic behavior and the possibility of receiving benefits from the employer. The correlation between these variables was only 0.115 at the significance level of 0.01. It follows that, if the respondents expressed that they were willing to change their traffic behavior, it did not mean that they would condition this change on a benefit from their employer. There are several limitations to this study.
