If you are new to the specification, please introduce yourself (name and organization/link to GBFS). It’s helpful to know who we're chatting with!

Hi there, I'm Marius and work at AtB which is the Public Transport Authority in Trondheim, Norway. We use Entur's Mobility API to access data from GBFS feeds.

What is the issue and why is it an issue?

In order to be eligible to use certain vehicles, you need to e.g.

• be older than a specific age
• have a driving license for a particular class of vehicles

In order to show the correct rules for a specific vehicle, we need the data to be defined somewhere.
A concrete use case for this at my company, is to require users to confirm that they are old enough before they can start a trip with an escooter. There is also an expected case upcoming regarding shared cars.

Please describe some potential solutions you have considered (even if they aren’t related to GBFS).

A potential solution might be to add the following to vehicle_types:

user_requirements: {
   minimum_age: number;
}

With the thinking that this is extendable such that e.g. a driving license spec can be added inside user_requirements as well. Hopefully somebody that knows about international standards for driving license regulations can make a good suggestion for that :)

Is your potential solution a breaking change?

• Yes
• No
• Unsure
