Together we shape the
future of mobility

The Mobility Institute Berlin (mib) was initiated in the summer of 2018 by Torben Greve, founder of MeinFernbus and co-founder of FlixMobility, Europe’s largest provider of long-distance bus travel, along with four other shareholders. Our goal is to promote changes in urban mobility through consulting and research. We are convinced that different perspectives are needed to master the challenges of urban mobility. To this end, we comprise a constantly growing interdisciplinary team of mobility experts, management consultants, computer scientists, and social scientists.

Our Vision

Despite growing cities, people in urban areas lead a happy life worldwide. City dwellers are able to live healthy, mobile,equitable, harmonious, and sustainable lives.

Our Mission

Our goal is to improve people’s lives through likable and sustainable mobility. We consider public transport to be the backbone of an integrated mobility strategy that also includes new forms of mobility, walking, cycling, and car traffic.
