Behaviour wanted to change

Unsustainable mobility habits.

Intention

I want to use only sustainable transportation alternatives in my day to day activities.

Nudge Description

Use apps and platforms that promote sustainable transportation options, such as those that promote carpooling or provide real-time public transportation information. Here’s a checklist for using apps and platforms that promote sustainable transportation options:

  1. Look for apps and platforms that shared in the Guide for Sustainable Transportation by downloading the file.
  2. Download and install the selected apps on your smartphone or other devices (Ensure that the apps are compatible with your operating system)
  3. Set up user accounts on the apps, providing necessary information such as your name, email address, and payment details if required.
  4. If the app supports carpooling, familiarize yourself with the carpooling features.
    • Understand how to create or join carpooling routes and schedules.
  5. Check Public Transportation Information:
    • Explore the features related to real-time public transportation information on the app.
    • Verify if the app provides data on bus, train, or other public transportation schedules, delays, and routes.
  6. Use the app to plan your routes and trips, considering sustainable transportation options.
  7. Keep yourself updated on any new features or updates from the app developers
  8. Share your experiences with the app developers on usability, effectiveness, and any additional features that could enhance sustainable transportation options.
  9. Share information about the app within your community or social circles
