Lime and Keikyu Railway: A New Era of Urban Mobility

Lime, a company that operates electric micro-mobility sharing services in approximately 30 countries worldwide, has entered into a partnership with Keikyu Railway, marking a significant milestone in urban transportation. This collaboration aims to enhance sustainable urban mobility and improve connectivity in the areas surrounding Keikyu lines. The initiative was officially launched on January 8, 2026, with the establishment of the initial Lime mobility port located in front of Aobayashi Station. Additional ports are scheduled to open in the vicinity of Umeyashiki and Keikyu Kamata stations by March of the same year.

Leveraging a Global User Base

With operations across five continents, Lime’s extensive global experience provides an opportunity to create new mobility options for travelers. Keikyu Railway is strategically positioned, offering excellent access to major transport hubs like Haneda Airport, Narita Airport, and Shinagawa Station. The new Lime ports will enable international visitors to effortlessly explore the areas around Keikyu lines, thus stimulating tourism and boosting the local economy. By integrating train services with electric micro-mobility, travelers can enjoy a seamless transportation experience, expanding the possibilities for urban exploration.

Expanding Accessibility from Aobayashi Station

The Aobayashi Station is a crucial transport hub that connects to various destinations, including Tokyo's waterfront. The introduction of the new Lime port will help enhance the daily convenience for residents and visitors, addressing the 'last mile' of their journeys. This strategically placed port is expected to increase foot traffic in the surrounding area, resulting in a broader market for local businesses and extending the duration of stays in the vicinity. The future mobility ports at Umeyashiki and Keikyu Kamata stations will be designed to cater to the unique characteristics of their respective neighborhoods, aiming to improve the overall travel experience on the Keikyu line.

Collaboration with HELLO CYCLING for Enhanced Mobility

In addition to the Lime mobility ports, Keikyu Railway is working on its bike-sharing service, HELLO CYCLING. Beginning in Spring 2026, the two companies will kick off a mutual-use collaboration, allowing users to access multiple forms of shared mobility. This will enable travelers to choose the optimal transportation method based on their needs, enhancing the overall mobility experience within the Keikyu line network.

A Commitment to Sustainable Urban Development

Both companies are dedicated to building a sustainable urban transportation model. Lime aims to partner with Keikyu Railway and other local businesses to enhance public transport options and support the development of second-tier transportation solutions from stations. The focus is not only on improving the accessibility of the areas served but also on contributing to the creation of vibrant, low-carbon cityscapes.
