How did the motorcycle with driver appear in Paris?
The motorcycle with driver appeared in France in the early 2000s with the company MOTOCAB, a specialist in the reservation of motorcycle taxi, still the leader of motorcycle taxi with driver since its launch. The beginning of the adventure was chaotic, like many "disrupting" companies, with pressure from the mobility actors in place such as the Parisian cabs or the vehicles of great delivery, or even the actors of the public transport, seeing this new mode of transport as an unfair competition and without interest for the users of individual transport services in the big cities. But very quickly, by dint of canvassing the first customers who wanted to save time compared to the surrounding traffic in the Ile de France, MOTOCAB was able to make a place for itself and develop an innovative activity that met a real need for users of motorized vehicle services. Over the years, this new mode of transportation has expanded with more and more motorcycles with drivers on the market and new smaller players setting up in major cities where the need to save time is felt.
