| description | Mobility as a Service (MaaS) is presented as a possible solution to the sustainability challenges posed by the con-centration of population in cities. Despite the wide range of services that it incorporates and the fact that its adoption is associated with numerous benefits, its rate of use remains low. Therefore, the aim of our research is to identify the factors which explain the use of micromobility services. Since the adoption of mobility is a complex phenomenon whose explanation involves conditions at different levels, a model based on a multilevel perspec-tive is applied to a sample of 48 cities in different parts of the world. The application of Qualitative Comparative Analysis and Necessary Conditions Analysis shows that there are no necessary conditions in kind for the use of micromobility services, although there are necessary conditions in degree. Likewise, the different combinations of conditions that explain the use, and denial, of the micromobility services are identified. The role played by satis-faction with public transport and the perception that traffic congestion is not a problem stand out in explaining the use, or denial, of micromobility services. There is a causal mechanism that shows how certain conditions trigger the use of micromobility services. MaaS operators should take advantage of existing synergies with different ser-vices in the mobility regime to try to encourage the adoption of their applications. |

Mobility as a Service (MaaS) se presenta como una posible solución a los retos que supone la concentración de la población en las ciudades para la sostenibilidad. Pese al amplio abanico de servicios que incorpora y a que a su adopción se le vincula numerosos beneficios, su tasa de uso se mantiene baja. Por ello, el presente trabajo res-ponde al objetivo de identificar los factores que explican el uso de los servicios de micromovilidad. Puesto que la adopción de la movilidad es un fenómeno complejo en cuya explicación intervienen condiciones a diferente nivel se aplica un modelo basado en la perspectiva multinivel a una muestra compuesta por 48 ciudades de diferentes zonas del mundo. La aplicación de Qualitative Comparative Analysis y de Necessary Conditions Analysis constata la inexistencia de condiciones necesarias in kind para el uso de los servicios de movilidad, si bien existen condiciones necesarias in degree. Asimismo, se identifican las diferentes combinaciones de condiciones que explican el uso, y negación, de los servicios de micromovilidad. El papel jugado por la satisfacción con el transporte público y la percepción de que la congestión del tráfico no sea un problema destacan en la explicación del uso, o negación, de la micromovilidad. Existe un mecanismo causal que muestra cómo determinadas condiciones disparan el uso de los servicios de micromovilidad. Los operadores de MaaS deben aprovechar las sinergias existentes con diferentes servicios existentes en el regime de movilidad para tratar de favorecer la adopción de sus aplicaciones.
