Mode-usage typically occurs at the same time, but may also refer to sequential use, i.e. a leasing a shared bicycle. Although it can reduce miles travelled per person, it may or may not be efficient in terms of the mode used or emissions per person. This includes public transit options, car sharing; personal vehicle sharing (peer-to-peer car-sharing and fractional ownership); car-pooling; van-pooling; ride-splitting, bike-sharing; scooter sharing; shuttle services; micro-transit; ridesharing; e-Hail (taxis); shuttle services; neighbourhood jitneys; ride-sourcing; transportation network companies; ride-hailing; paratransit; and more. It can also include courier network services or flexible goods delivery, which provide for-hire delivery services using an online application or platform (such as a website or smartphone app) to connect couriers using their personal vehicles, bicycles, or scooters with freight (e.g., packages, food), and commercial delivery vehicles providing flexible goods movement.
