Explainers, field notes and results from the people who plan, launch and run demand-responsive transport services.
A new breed of transportation has revolutionized urban mobility in the last decade. Based on cutting-edge digital technology and backed by big money, on-demand upstarts have quickly become household names.
In February, Shotl were invited to participate in the 3rd and final phase of the EU research project FABULOS (part of Horizon 2020). We entered this phase of the project alongside Sensible 4.
Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) could be the one of the keys to breaking our addiction to the car. It’s being tested in several cities, but uptake varies greatly and there’s a lot of work to do before its full potential is realized.
Our modern cities are becoming “knowledge economies”; Economies where products and services are produced through intellectual knowledge. Cities should function as hubs that encourage innovation.
Fully autonomous vehicles are finally starting to roll off the test tracks and onto the streets, and developers are realizing there’s more to providing transit services than just driving.
As urban populations grow, city planners need sustainable mass transit solutions that save, but don’t cost, the Earth. Could Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) hold the key?
With increased reliability, it is reasonable for commuters to view their commute time as a credible window in which to get productive and gain perspective for the day ahead.
A distracted driver is a dangerous driver, and cellphone use at the wheel is a modern disease that’s on the rise globally.
Think Netflix, iTunes and new digital banks like Revolut. If this can also be applied to mobility, it could encourage people to choose more sustainable transit.
