One prominent trend in the Costa Rican Shared Mobility market is the integration of electric vehicles. As the country focuses on reducing carbon emissions and promoting sustainable practices, shared mobility providers are introducing electric scooters, bikes, and cars into their fleets. This not only aligns with customer preferences for eco-friendly options but also contributes to the overall green initiatives in the transportation sector.
