Claims, one by one

The text below is copied verbatim from the published record. Each claim names the source dossiers that carry it; caveats stay attached to the claim they qualify.

Claim 1 clm-d8016b895b1ec993 quantitative

Recorded roughly 900,000 rides in its first season (2016), rising to about 2.7 million by 2018, then easing to around 2.2 million in 2019 as rental e-scooters arrived in the city

Published field: impact · verbatim
Mapping: mapped · no interpretation or interpolation added by this passport
What the mapping says: Statens vegvesen, the Norwegian Public Roads Administration, is the independent source cited for these year-by-year ridership figures.
Caveat: No independently reported ridership figures were found for a year later than 2019 — the evidence grade rests on this three-year window, not on current usage.

Known limits of this passport

Publisher names and source languages have not yet been classified; domains are recorded without guessing.
Existing source notes are descriptive locators, not page- or paragraph-exact citations.
A missing archive, publication date or content hash is shown as null rather than inferred.
The project-level evidence grade ranks the strongest source in the entry; it is not a truth score for every claim.
