Background
Luup operates under the mission of 'building infrastructure that turns every street into a station front,' deploying its micro-mobility sharing service 'LUUP' nationwide. Now, to establish essential mobility infrastructure for corporate activities, Luup is launching the corporate service 'LUUP for Work.'
User purpose surveys (※1) indicate that daily mobility needs—including commuting and work-related travel—account for over 80% of usage. Additionally, many users have expressed demand for corporate services in post-ride comment sections within the LUUP app. Amid labor shortages and diverse work styles, mobility burdens and inefficiencies not only hinder employee productivity and well-being but also contribute to stagnation in broader economic activities. By integrating its extensive port network with corporate operations, Luup aims to realize a freer, more productive society that transcends location and time constraints.
A Luup-conducted web survey (※2) targeting business professionals in Tokyo and Osaka revealed that two out of three respondents (66%) feel that inefficient travel time negatively impacts their productivity. Furthermore, 57% reported losing time searching for parking or bicycle parking, and over half (52%) indicated difficulty finding suitable transport for distances too short for taxis.
Among those experiencing time loss due to parking searches, individuals spending over 5 minutes each time (64%) face an average annual loss of 138 hours. Additionally, those using paid parking or bicycle parking (66%) have a median annual cost of 140,000 JPY.
Moreover, 53% of employees—over half—reported experiencing 'hidden labor shortages,' where inefficient mobility prevents staff from focusing on core tasks. Meanwhile, 60% expressed a desire to minimize travel time to support work-style reforms and improve operational efficiency.
Prior to its official launch, 'LUUP for Work' has already been piloted by over 200 companies. Early adopters have provided positive feedback, noting that the service serves as a new mobility option complementing existing public transit by enabling travel directly to destinations, resulting in significant time savings. Luup will continue supporting business growth by making employee mobility more convenient through this service.

The service supports efficient mobility across diverse business scenarios, including route sales, inter-store or inter-branch travel, last-mile connections from stations, and regular commuting between factories and offices.
Key Features of 'LUUP for Work'

Multiple vehicle types—including electric-assist bicycles and electric kick scooters—are available, allowing selection based on specific mobility needs.
2. Reduced Burden on Expense Management and Administration
Usage under 'Corporate Mode' is billed collectively to a designated recipient each month, eliminating the need for individual receipt submissions by employees and significantly reducing the workload associated with expense settlements.
The dedicated management dashboard enables real-time monitoring of usage, contributing to reduced administrative effort for management teams.
3. Flexible Pricing Plans
Choose the optimal plan based on usage patterns and frequency, including the 'Starter Plan' with no monthly base fee, and the 'Business Plan,' which offers up to 10 free rides per month (within 45 minutes each).
