"The ability to offer alternative modes of transport in order to move people to their destination easily is a critical component of any mobility platform as a service," says Yoav Meidad, Moovit's Director of Development and Marketing.

"Therefore, we are excited to partner with Bird. Users will be able to combine micro-mobility with public transportation to enjoy the most convenient ways to get around, especially in congested cities around the world."

Yaniv Rivlin, CEO of Bird Israel and Director of Corporate Relations at the company at EMEA: "We are happy and excited about the cooperation that has begun here in Israel.

The purpose of the move is clear and unambiguous - to transfer passengers from private vehicles to public transportation through a supply of alternatives that work in synergy with each other. "
