Bitkom survey: Climate crisis changes mobility behavior
Has the mobility behavior of Germans changed in recent years? – This question was investigated by Bitkom Research on behalf of the digital association Bitkom in a representative survey. 1,003 people in Germany aged 16 and over were surveyed by phone between mid-June and mid-July:
- "When you think about your mobility behavior 5 years ago, that is in 2018, how has it changed compared to today?
- Have you used the following means of transport more frequently, unchanged, or less frequently?"
- "For what reasons has your mobility behavior changed?"
97% of respondents stated that they had changed their mobility behavior in the last 5 years – unfortunately, not necessarily in favor of public transport. The greatest increase was seen in bicycle use – 45% stated that they use their own bicycle more frequently. Among 16- to 29-year-olds, this number was even 59%. Carsharing is also popular and growing – 38% use it more often and only 6% less often than five years ago.
Other sharing services such as bike-sharing, e-scooter-sharing, or moped-sharing, according to Bitkom, are not really taking off. About a quarter use them more frequently (26%) or conversely less frequently (23%). The situation is similar with on-demand services such as FreeNow or Uber, which are used more frequently by 26% and less frequently by 22%.
In contrast, flying has decreased – 72% currently use airplanes less frequently, only 4% fly more often than in 2018. 40% drive their own car less frequently than in 2018, and 49% use taxis less often. Carsharing, however, is on the rise: 38% use it more frequently and only 6% less often than five years ago.
Public Transport and Trains – Reliability is a Problem
Even though less flying occurs than five years ago, the railway is not necessarily a beneficiary of this development – the willingness to travel by train instead suffers from the unreliability of the service – 18% cited this as a reason. Overall, 23% use buses or trains for local transport more frequently, but 28% less frequently. 12% use buses and trains for long-distance travel more frequently, 41% less often than five years ago.
Sustainability in Focus
“Climate protection, cost issues, and an increasingly digital work environment are not short-term phenomena; they are changing people's daily lives in the long term – and with that, how we move from place to place. What we see is therefore not a temporary trend – we are at the beginning of a lasting mobility transition," says Bitkom CEO Dr. Bernhard Rohleder.
For those who have changed their mobility behavior, sustainability plays a major role: most (65%) state that they have changed their travel habits due to the climate crisis. 44% cite rising gasoline and energy prices, 23% have adjusted their mobility behavior with the introduction of the Germany ticket. One in five (21%) has changed their mobility behavior due to working from home more frequently.
