The cities that have opened up have observed an increase in the traffic jams along with a rise in the air pollution index. In the parent city of the virus; Wuhan. The sale of cars is at a peak. Even in the United States, traffic could be 30% higher before the start of this pandemic.

The blast-off in traffic jams of cars occurs from the fear of getting caught by COVID-19 transmission by using public transportation. Despite knowing the fact that subways and buses are sanitized regularly still many people are likely to use their vehicle continuing to follow social distancing which gets next to impossible while making travel using public transportation.

If people continue to make travel through cars, the traffic will surely increase. To curb this problem of traffic congestion, micro-mobility is the best suitable option for this period.

E-scooters, E-bikes, mopeds and even electric skateboards can be substituted for cars that help cars slender from the streets.

The commuters which earlier used public transportation are now using the new micro-mobility as an alternative to commuting daily. 

Gotcha; observe the growth and popularity of the scooters from February to May. The company has seen a revolutionary change in the behaviours of the riders as it saw an increase in its demand.

Demand for the bikes is so symbolic that sale and rental services all across the United States have increased and where the demand was made by the store to sell is still not supplied with the right quantity.

The role of micro-mobility is much larger than what is expected. It is the time to grant our cities to innovate and ecologically mould the cities further making a revolutionary change in the transportation industry.

Even further sanitizing the hands after making a ride; these were some of the basic guidelines that the company provided as a precautionary measure under the reign of this pandemic.

The company will accommodate students of the University with a safe and socially distant way to get into the campus and around the city while riding scooters.

The company also has several manuals on the websites and the safety measures that a rider must follow before riding a bike that will ultimately decrease the occurrence of the accidents arising because of these scooters.

The company has also provided scooters to many of the universities in different states such as the University of Alabama, Queen’s University and many more. The locations shown by the company depicts that the company’s scooters are flourishing across various states of the country.

Michigan is the state which is highly known for its state university and for the roads which connect the cities of Michigan to the cities of Ontario. 

Looking at the means of transportation and the importance of the state it almost appears next to impossible to shut down all the activities of such a state for a particular period in lockdown.

Though Michigan State University(MSU) took remarkable steps to not only continue their research on this virus but to also re-energize research on the MSU campus. The executive order from the state on May 15 stated that the Non-essential research can be restarted on-campus.

While working even off-campus, investigators analyzed data, conducted peer review, prepared journals and much more. The researchers laid more emphasis on continuing their research on this virus and conducting investigations on Covid-19.

MSU has such goodwill which inspires everyone and with the announcement of his partial reopening of the campus. Gotcha, a rental service provider of E-scooters grabbed the golden opportunity and signed a deal with the University.

Electric scooters of Gotcha will be seen parked in the hubs created exclusively for E-scooters parking on campus. 

Though the copy of the contract is not yet provided to the company Gotcha spokesperson said that the company has been allowed to set up 600 scooters around the campus and streets of the city of Lansing where MSU is situated.

The scooters are displayed on the streets of the campus. The effects of Coronavirus on these scooters are still opaque.

The classes on-campus will take place at the beginning of the next semester by the end of August.

 The University offers an on-campus class facility to some of the students who are enrolled in the practical subjects which cannot be taught remotely.

President- Samuel Stanley Jr. still wants students to study online and remotely through a digital platform as the hike in the confirmed cases of this virus is continuously increasing.

The fall intake will be online for all the students who enrolled earlier for their particular subjects.

The rising fear of getting caught with the virus even the company Gotcha is asking people to wear masks when riding and sanitize the handles of the scooters before and after using these scooters. 

Even further sanitizing the hands after making a ride; these were some of the basic guidelines that the company provided as a precautionary measure under the reign of this pandemic.

Company’s operations 

Throughout the pandemic, Gotcha has been trying to be in touch with Universities and municipal partners trying to start getting his products on the streets and to provide riders a socially distant means of transportation.

This fall ,the international students as well as the native students are asked to study remotely if the subjects are not practical but those students with practicality in the subjects are asked to visit university and attend the lectures in the campus. 

Gotcha will be providing scooters to those students who will be visiting the campus and across the city at a nominal cost. Once the semester begins, Gotcha will re-launch its scooters at MSU.

The multi-channel approach for providing transportation solutions as well as our credibly targeted market strategies continuously reached the peak of success in the longer run.

As the students are returning back to campus in this fall, We will be able to access the user data and are sanguine that the ridership levels have further more chances to see the boom across the streets of the city as in winter intake , the universities are likely to get fully operational providing classroom teaching to all students. 

The demand along with the increased number of students are going to increase in the upcoming months. 

Enclosure 

The ongoing pandemic called out a major change in every industry and this kind of micro-mobility in the transportation sector is likely to change the behavioural patterns of the customers. 

The micro-mobility will be facilitating students and adults more carefully by constraining all the fears of getting the infection.

Not only scooters are safer but it also helps in solving major problems such as traffic congestion and pollution.

The electric drive motivates all the adults to get back in a more trendy way which is more fascinating than other means of transport.

Gotcha got a hand on the deal before even the reopening of the campus. Such analysis of the market can bring joyous rewards for the company.
