Market Chatter: Mitsui Fudosan Realty Plans 500 Tokyo Mobility Docks by 2027

By

-- Mitsui Fudosan's (TYO:8801) subsidiary Mitsui Fudosan Realty plans to build 500 shared mobility stations across Tokyo by March 2027, accommodating multiple operators, including Uber-backed micromobility startup Lime, Nikkei Asia reported on Friday.

Lime unveiled a Japan-specific e-bike on Thursday featuring smaller 20-inch tires, a lower center of gravity, and enhanced navigation software for Tokyo's narrow streets, the news daily said.

Unlike dockless overseas markets, Japan requires shared bikes to be returned to designated stations, making dock availability key to competition, according to the publication.
