TIER and Zipabout promote e-scooter and e-bike options to rail users

Micromobility operator TIER has teamed up with journey information provider Zipabout to give rail passengers arriving in London and York a sustainable last mile journey option. 

The partnership will see TIER’s e-bikes and e-scooters integrated into the wider London and York public transport networks on the Zipabout app.

Anyone opted in to receive journey information from Zipabout’s rail clients, including National Rail Enquiries, c2c, EMR and LNER can now view TIER’s services.

Georgia Yexley, TIER’s General Manager for UK & Ireland says, “Even the smallest changes to travel habits can make a significant impact – integrating e-scooters into journey planning services, alongside our voucher incentive [TIER is offering riders a 25% discount on their first five journeys], will encourage the behavioural change we need towards sustainable travel. By replacing more short car journeys with carbon neutral e-scooters and e-bikes, both London and York will benefit from reduced inner-city congestion and improved air quality, helping to create healthier, greener communities and reach Net Zero goals.”

Zipabout’s CEO Alex Froom adds, “We see this partnership as an incredibly important step to getting people back on public transport after the pressures of the last two years. We’re putting real-time journey information at their fingertips which will help them travel with confidence and make the sustainable last mile choice.”
