One of the aspects addressed by the new Spanish Sustainable Mobility Law is the role of data in the mobility ecosystem, introducing three key points regarding the management of mobility data: the Integrated Mobility Data Space (EDIM) as a common tool, the regulation of data-sharing mechanisms in the sector, and the generation of new use cases for mobility data linked to the development of evidence-based public transport policies. In this article, we provide a brief overview of these three instruments.

A look over the least used stations in Spanish commuter railways [Part 2]

Transport planners often struggle to solve bottlenecks in saturated networks. However, sometimes the challenge is to understand why certain transport services remain underutilised. Our curiosity about travel behaviour led us to combine mobile network data, ticketing data and survey data to explore what is behind the limited passenger flow of the least used stations in the Spanish commuter railway network. On this occassion, we look at the least used station of Barcelona’s commuter railway system: Borgonyà.
