Dresden built its MOBIpunkte so residents would not have to own a car. By 2022 it still judged them by user numbers, and its December 2023 progress report gives two different counts of them.

MOBIpunkte are Dresden's mobility hubs, placed close to a tram or bus stop so that riders can switch to a MOBIbike, a MOBIcar from the carsharing partner teilAuto, or a charging point. The city council decided on 23 March 2017 to build them, and the Dresdner Verkehrsbetriebe opened the first at Pirnaischer Platz on 21 September 2018; the stated aim is affordable mobility from one source without having to own a car. The DVB's MOBIapp shows public transport and bike-share in one app and books teilAuto cars. The operator now lists 68 MOBIpunkte; a 2022 count put 54 in place against 76 planned by 2023. In the city's 2024 survey, 16% of residents had used MOBI and 64% had heard of it without using it.

🎓 Lesson

The 2016 concept behind the hubs asked for more than stations: the city was to keep access to the user data for continuous monitoring, and running the hubs was to cost it nothing. By 2022, according to the interviews behind a university thesis, Dresden judged its MOBIpunkte by user numbers, and an analysis of their effect on the modal split was still at the concept stage. A hub network is easy to count and hard to evaluate. The monitoring has to be designed in with the first station; otherwise the only figure left to report is how many stations there are, and here even that count differs within a single report: the city's December 2023 progress report gives both 71 and 63.
