From goods and services to accommodation and mobility, disruptive business models are accommodating the fundamental human need to be part of a community—and rising customer numbers and revenues signal that this shift in consumer habits will transform a number of industries for years to come. Shared mobility is among the fastest growing segments of the shared economy, with usage replacing ownership.
