Abstract In the context of increasing globalization and global competition, urban mobility in terms of different private Taxi transport projects is gaining relevance. In the last decade, interest in studying the impact of Taxi options on changes in urban mobility and consumer preferences has increased. The most important recent line of study is the development of the dimensions of urban mobility and the possible incorporation of new ones and the Taxi option is one of the most important dimensions in urban mobility dynamism. Therefore, it becomes a necessary task to measure the amount and level of academic work that has been carried out on urban mobility, its dimensions, and the effect that Taxi options may have. So, the main objective of this paper is to examine the current state of urban mobility, carrying out a bibliometric analysis. 6687 research papers published between 1967 and 2021 have been analysed based on the results of the Web of Science Core Collection (WoS), identifying publications and co-authorship among the most recognized authors, the countries with the highest percentage of scientific production, the most prominent citations, the most influential journals, and the co-occurrence of keywords. In summary, the most recurring topics that show the academic development of urban mobility have been identified, guiding on future topics to be incorporated into the study and measurement of urban mobility options, such as Taxi, ride-sourcing, ride-pooling, ride-sharing and others.

    Highlights Taxi and urban mobility are two key factors for society and two lines of research that are in full development and growing exponentially. This study thus confirms the great potential of this line of research and the great interest it should generate for the most prestigious journals. Mobility is a relevant issue for all cities on the planet and generate great interest for the most prestigious journals. The existence of a line of research related to the study of electric and autonomous vehicles, sustainable development, and the optimization of urban mobility has been observed.
