Contributes local execution in Mexico and Latin America: study, design, deployment and commissioning of each system.
International presence
A consortium in three countries, five systems deployed
RÁFAGA Mobility forms a consortium with Singular City, in Argentina, and with YouBike, in Taiwan. Together, the three partners have deployed five mobility systems: RÁFAGA contributes development and implementation in Mexico, Singular City the operational experience in urban networks, and YouBike the micro-mobility technology proven at scale.
What each partner contributes
Singular City
Argentina · Operation and management of urban networks
Contributes operational experience in urban transport networks, having redesigned Red Fermoza and modernized Red Tulum.
YouBike
Taiwan · Micro-mobility technology at scale
Contributes the technology behind one of the largest shared bicycle systems in the world, proven in continuous operation.
The consortium's five systems
| System | Country | Responsible partner | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bixie — Tu Baika Culichi | Mexico | RÁFAGA Mobility | Shared bicycle system |
| Ecobici | Mexico | RÁFAGA Mobility | Public shared bicycle system |
| Red Tulum | Argentina | Singular City | Urban transport network |
| Red Fermoza | Argentina | Singular City | Urban transport network |
| YouBike | Taiwan | YouBike | Public shared bicycle system |
Why it matters for a project in Mexico
The micro-mobility technology that sustains a large-scale system isn't improvised: it's validated through millions of trips and years of continuous operation. That's YouBike's role within the consortium.
The experience of redesigning entire urban networks — routes, frequencies, fare scheme — is what Singular City contributes. And the on-the-ground execution, the relationship with local authorities and the day-to-day operation in Mexico are contributed by RÁFAGA. See how it plays out in municipal projects.
