Mobility Italian is changing . At least according to the latest data provided by Uber: in the latest research & ldquo; Italians and mobility; urban & rdquo; analyzed how the uses and customs of the automobile and alternative means of transport of the various generations in Italy, from the most elderly Baby Boomers (born between 1946 and 1964) up to the very young of Generation Z (1995 – 2012), have changed in relation to their use.

From the survey & egrave; it emerged that the private car still remains the main means of transport of Italians but its use is slowly declining , especially among the most & ugrave; young people, in favor of alternative forms of mobility; preferred for short and medium journeys. After the car we then find the metro or the bus, up to the taxi/NCC (rental with driver) and the use of bicycles and scooters, the latter two also electric or assisted.

< p>It must be said that the slow but steady decline in car use is pushed also by the new cycle paths, by the new places created for the viability; pedestrian that take away more and more; parking space and therefore do not make it anymore; life is easier for the motorist looking for a place to leave his car. Not to mention the advent of limited traffic areas and ZTL which have sprung up in the main cities; Italians.


Over 90% of people who took part in the survey of Uber for the Baby Boomer generations, Generation X (1965 – 1981) and Millennials (1982 – 1994) have a driving license, a percentage that sees a marked decline among Gen Z members with 63.8%, all young who have in any case expressed their intention of being able to license in the next few years and that they consider, however, the car as the most suitable vehicle; comfortable to be used for your travels in addition to the preferred one to be able to reach today's or future workplace. Many also pointed out the lack of adequate public transport services in their cities, which is why the private car continues to be the preferred means of transport.

< p>30% of Baby Boomers and Gen X members said they use the machine every day and about 30% very often. On the contrary, the most & ugrave; young people (Millennials and Gen Z) use the car less frequently, with an average of 25% of Gen Z using it every day or very often, percentages that drop to less than 20% among Millennials (17.6%) , the generation certainly more & ugrave; & ldquo; green & rdquo; among those interviewed by Uber, and which recorded the most percentages; high compared to a very moderate use of the private car, just 2 or 3 times a month for 25% of Millennials who participated in the research.

Summing up, the private car remains the preferred means of transport for Italians of any generation for activities; work or study, with an average preference of 50%, followed by taxis and NCC (car with driver) for Baby Boomers (40%), metro and buses for both Gen X (about 30%), Millennials (50%) and Gen Z (about 40%). And car sharing? Like moving on a motorbike, this records an average of about 20% of Italian preferences.


C & # 39; & egrave; to underline that pi & ugrave; age of the interviewees drops, more & ugrave; the preference for mobility is raised; sustainable and alternative such as scooters and bicycles. These do not appear to be used much by Baby Boomers as only 13% say they use them frequently followed by 19% among Gen X, 16% among Millennials and even 33% for the older ones; young people of Gen Z.

The data of our research show that the private car has less and less appeal towards the older generations; young people, while remaining a means of transport rooted in our culture, also often due to the lack of efficient alternatives for mobility; in many cities Italian. We are pleased to note that other means of transport are gradually growing among the preferences of Italians, some of them certainly more; eco-sustainable and useful for decongesting city center traffic; – Lorenzo Pireddu , Uber Head of Italy.
