Lime’s Growth Reflects Shared Micromobility’s Rise
Lime’s upcoming Ride Replay will drop on December 15th, highlighting the rapid expansion of shared micromobility, with the company surpassing one billion lifetime rides in 2025. Lime estimates it helped eliminate 38m car trips this year, hit a single-day record of over one million rides, and grew UK revenue 75% year-over-year to £111.3m in 2024. The wider industry is also maturing, with rising adoption among older riders and improved vehicles that are more stable and accessible. Lime’s trajectory reflects micromobility’s shift from niche service to mainstream urban transport, while still navigating the challenges of scaling globally.

Staff estimate $150k is needed to expand parking infrastructure, while debate continues over vendor accountability and the long-term future of the program.
