The paper focuses on recent theorisations of the commons and sharing practices that have gained traction in geographic and urban studies literatures. Drawing on global comparative research on low-carbon mobility transitions, this paper argues that critical mobilities scholars can rethink and expand the understanding of mobility through engagement with commons thinking. Moreover, it develops a new concept, ‘commoning mobility’, that can help realise fairer and greener mobilities and more inclusive, collaboratively governed cities.
