The UK city of Plymouth has earned gold standard accreditation for its mobility hub from the shared transport charity Collaborative Mobility UK (CoMoUK).
The Connect Plymouth Hub on Mayflower Street makes it easier for people to travel sustainable, incorporating its own fleet of e-bikes, an electric car club vehicle, and an accompanying set of rapid EV charging stations.
The facility is also served by a bus stop carrying real-time travel information, while the city’s coach station is only 50 metres away, allowing for easy onward travel.

They are a common sight in many European and North American cities and are increasingly popular in the UK.
