BVG sells the scooter, moped and car-share trip next to its own bus ticket and calls its 350-odd hubs Europe's largest network. Its own surveys show car use falling — and the app may be folded into another.
what does this mean?
The strongest source is the operator's or the city's own reporting — an official report, dataset or press release. It grades who did the looking — not how well the project went. All four grades →Part of 1001 Smart Cities — 1,247 documented projects · 🏙️ 8 more in Berlin · 🛴 Shared mobility guide · 🚲 Mobility projects
Berlin transit operator BVG launched Jelbi in 2019, built on Trafi's platform, bundling public transport with shared bikes, e-scooters, mopeds, car-share, ride-hailing and taxis into one app for routing, booking and payment. Physical "Jelbi stations" and smaller "Jelbi points" cluster these shared vehicles at hubs across the city; BVG reports roughly 350 such locations by 2025 and calls it Europe's largest mobility-station network. The app was still being updated in November 2026, but BVG says its functions are to be folded into MAX, a joint app with Hamburg announced for the second half of 2026 whose launch was on hold in July 2026 pending talks in Hamburg.
📊 Impact
The only measured results are BVG's own: in its pilot networks the share of trips made by car fell from 46% to 37% in Biesdorf and from 36% to 28% in Adlershof, and reports of wrongly parked sharing vehicles practically halved from 2024 to 2025. Both rest on the operator's own surveys and complaint counts, with no published method or comparison areas; the Senate said in 2024 that the trial's evaluation would decide how mobility hubs are built from 2026.
🎓 Lesson
Bundling every sharing provider into the transit operator's app is the easier half; the hubs that make the bundle visible on the street depend on district permits and public money, and in 2025 Berlin was still examining other ways to fund them, including asking the sharing operators to contribute.
