That conclusion can be drawn from the latest shared mobility report published by Way To Go, a SHARE-North Squared project partner. Each year, they track the evolution of the shared mobility supply and usage in Belgium and its three regions: Flanders, Brussels and Wallonia.
Belgium: 33 million rides!
Collectively, Belgians made more than 33 million trips using shared bicycles and scooters in 2025. The number of active users of shared bicycles and shared scooters rose to 2.5 million, while car sharing also continues to grow.
With 6.5 shared cars per 10,000 inhabitants, Belgium has also confirmed its position as the European leader in car sharing.
Each of the three regions is following its own development path. Flanders is expanding shared mobility geographically and developing regional networks, and achieves strong results with shared bicycles with fixed stations. Brussels combines high density with intensive use and demonstrates how well-thought-out regulations lead to more efficient use. Wallonia is clearly catching up, especially in terms of car sharing and shared scooters.
Flanders: the heart of cycling
The Flemish figures show that shared mobility is becoming structurally embedded in the mobility system. Bicycle-sharing systems with fixed stations are used intensively, and the targeted roll-out of regional bicycle sharing via on-demand transport proves that shared mobility also works outside major cities.
--> Almost seven out of ten bicycle trips in Belgium take place in Flanders.
--> Flanders saw a 21% increase in the number of shared bicycles, mainly due to the roll-out of regional on-demand transport systems.
--> Scooter supply fell by 42%, but use increased significantly: the number of trips rose by 64%.
--> The number of active users of round-trip and private car sharing rose by 13% to 52,546 car sharers, or 1.1% of all driving licence holders.
--> Flanders is a pioneer in electrification: almost three in ten shared cars are fully electric, and in the round-trip segment, that share rises to 45%.
Brussels: highest level of use
The Brussels shared mobility market is characterised by high density in supply, heavy use, and rigorous regulation. The Brussels experience illustrates that a controlled supply, combined with clear rules, can lead to high levels of use and significant social added value.
--> Six in ten Belgian shared scooter trips take place in Brussels.
--> The number of shared scooters fell by 44% to 7,200. Yet, their use increased to more than 9.5 million trips.
--> With 8.6 shared bicycles per 1,000 inhabitants, the per capita supply is more than three times higher than in Flanders.
--> The number of trips with shared bikes rose by 74% to more than 5 million.
--> Brussels has around 2,500 shared cars, accounting for 33% of the supply in Belgium.
Wallonia: catching up!
Wallonia is in a catch-up phase. Even though absolute volumes remain modest, momentum towards growth is strong. Car sharing in particular is showing clear signs of a breakthrough.
--> Round-trip car sharing grew by 22% in 2025, while the number of active car sharers increased by 16%.
--> Wallonia accounts for 23% of all Belgian shared scooters. It is the only region where the supply has continued to grow (up 37%).
--> Bike sharing remains modest with 637 shared bicycles (2% of the supply in Belgium), but experienced a strong relative growth of 85% in one year.
