Abstract

Nowadays, the tendency in terms of sustainable mobility orients the city towards urban proximity, promoting walking and cycling. Researchers have focused on the city centres; however, the extension of the large metropolises is much greater than just their centre and small peripheral centres are created, which makes the times and distances in these dispersed cities multiply. The challenge therefore is to achieve proximity in the cities as a whole, not only in their centres. In this context, multimodal transport, so the combination of several transport modes in a single trip, plays a fundamental role. This article demonstrates the potential of the public bicycle within it. The case studies are five municipalities in Madrid metropolitan area that have public bicycle systems, in order to be able to extrapolate the conclusions and help decision-making, to evaluate the possible policies and infrastructures to promote and develop.
