Public transport and electric vehicles, two-wheeled especially, are expected to constitute a major part of future sustainable transport systems in smart cities. The focus of this paper is to analyze different paradigms of mobility on a fixed route in the center of Milan. The chosen path connects Milan Central station to Milano Bovisa station, a very traffic way. The first part of the paper is based on the analysis of the two most common means of urban transport in Milan: the train and the trolley bus. The comparison is performed in terms of energy consumption, emissions, and costs. In the second part, instead, the focus has been shifted to other means of transport: electric light micro-mobility. Given the increased interest these days in both electric scooters and electric bikes, a preliminary analysis of these two means of transport is carried out. From the results, it is possible to conclude that these types of vehicles represent a sustainable alternative for getting around the city.
