Apidays Virtual Helsinki - Hendrik Wolff, Simon Fraser University
summary
Mass market for mobility services trends toward concentration (Lyft owns ~80% of US bike-share; forecasts show up to 50% of trips by 2030 in some cities), creating walled gardens that can deny data and raise prices. Proposal: an API mid-layer public utility that scans devices every 2–5 seconds and sells normalized feeds to aggregators; regulation ties real‑time data sharing to business licenses (British Columbia model). Claimed outcomes: restored multi‑sided competition, lower aggregator costs, and policy levers to favor EVs.
