Mobility hubs have been high on the agenda across Europe but are they truly delivering on their promise? In Should Mobihubs Stay or Should They Go? we dive into the growing debate around their real added value. While some cities and experts see mobihubs as key to scaling integrated mobility systems, others question their impact, usage and cost-effectiveness. Through contrasting perspectives and practical experiences, this session explores what type of mobility hubs make sense in which context, whether the time has come to rethink the concept or to double down and scale it up. Because when hype meets reality, the real question is not just what are mobihubs - but whether they are here to stay or ready to go.
