Comprehending city and transport today – shaping sustainable mobility of tomorrow

The Mobility Institute Berlin (mib) was initiated by Torben Greve, founder of MeinFernbus and co-founder of FlixMobility, Europe’s largest provider of long-distance bus travel, and four other shareholders in the summer of 2018.

Our goal is to foster a sustainable mobility transition in urban areas through research, teaching and consulting projects. The needs of people and the establishment of an attractive and efficient public transport are our top priorities in this context. Public transport cannot be dealt with in isolation but as an integral part of a comprehensive sustainable mobility strategy, also including pedestrians, cyclists, car traffic and “new mobility”. Combining urban thinking and transportation planning as well as exchanging ideas and practices between research and practice enables us to develop sustainable solutions for current and future urban transport problems worldwide.

Our research and consulting approaches are strongly data driven. We think big and long-term.Through close cooperation with our customers, we develop the vision of the mobility change first. Subsequently, we prepare convincing concepts and support the implementation on request.

mib principles – our way of thinking

Our work in research and consulting is characterized by the following principles:

  • 1.
    We are convinced that a profound advancement of public transport is crucial for future sustainable and efficient mobility in cities.

  • 2.
    We are convinced that the key to success of all public transport services is to base planning and management experiences primarily on customer experiences.

  • 3.
    We are convinced that successful public transport services in the long-term must compete effectively with other modes of transport as well as operate a profitably and economically business.

  • 4.
    We are convinced that the potential of digitalization and (artificial) intelligent data analysis must be both part of public transport customer experience and planning as well as structural principles of public transport activities and outputs.

  • 5.
    We claimconstant political independence for our research and transparent insights.

  • 6.
    We are committed to a spirit of tolerance, protection of personal privacy, principles of non-discrimination, integrity, mutual respect and fairness in our daily work.

These principles are binding for our actions towards customers, business partners and staff as well as to the public.

mib Background – the urban world through our glasses

Today about 55% of the world population live in cities. By 2050, this figure is expected to rise to 68% (approximately 6.7 billion people, UNDP Forecast 2018).
