The client and the context
In 2021, AMTS Catania – Azienda Metropolitana Trasporti e Sosta – is an Italian company operating in public transportation and urban mobility in Catania and surrounding areas. AMTS is committed to providing efficient mobility solutions to improve citizens’ quality of life.
The goal
AMTS aimed to promote an integrated , intermodal public transport system in Catania. By partnering with tmr and implementing the bike sharing system with core youMove®, AMTS has been able to offer citizens a modern, efficient, safe, and interconnected urban mobility service. The main goal was to encourage the use of bicycles as a means of daily transportation, thereby reducing the number of vehicles on the road and helping to create a more livable and green city.
The tmr solution
tmr, pioneers in the micromobility industry, provided AMTS with the youMove® core solution. Thanks to the amiGO application, AMTS is able to efficiently manage the bike-sharing fleet, offering a usable and high-quality service to citizens. YouMove® monitoring and control systems enable AMTS to track the location of bicycles in real time, ensuring optimal resource management and user safety.
In 2021, the Catania Metropolitan Transportation and Stopping Company started a fruitful collaboration with tmr, introducing the tmr bike sharing system in the city. Currently, the network includes as many as 37 stations equipped with muscle bikes. Each station is specially designed to ensure safe locking and automated release of bicycles. Once rented, bicycles can be used for commuting throughout the city and then returned at any station on the network. Bike sharing stations with youMove® cores are distinguished by a modular design, which ensures flexibility and scalability, allowing easy adaptability to different urban settings and the ability to expand as capacity needs arise.
