Abstract As ride-hailing services – such as Uber and Lyft – dominate the market for digitized on-demand mobility solutions, these cab-like services face strict regulations in Germany. Here, ride-pooling services have begun to establish themselves in multiple cities. Instead of transporting passengers individually, ride-pooling services try to bundle journeys with similar routes in real time. Since the launch of commercial ride-pooling services in Germany in 2016, CleverShuttle has been one of the most prominent providers. To get a better understanding of ride-pooling users and their travel behavior in an urban environment, this article shows empirical data from a survey of CleverShuttle users as well as a spatial analysis of CleverShuttle trips made during the year 2019 for the cities of Berlin and Munich. We perform spatial regressions to identify spatial correlates of ride-pooling demand. The analysis of both survey and trip data leads to complementary results. Ride-pooling users in Berlin and Munich tend to be young and low-income, with leisure activities in the evening being their primary purpose of travel, followed by commuting. An intermodal use of ride-pooling with rail transport can be assumed for long-distance travel with origins or destinations outside the city's boundaries, rather than for trips within the city centre. The results also suggest that ride-pooling offers a mobility solution complementary to public transport in times when public transport is inconvenient or not available.

    Highlights The analysis of both survey and trip data leads to complementary results. Spatial regression analyses show the impact of built environment on demand. Ride-pooling users in Berlin & Munich tend to be young and low-income. Ride-pooling is primarily used for leisure activities in the evening. Results indicate a complementary use of ride-pooling to PT, especially late at night.
