What comes to your mind when you hear the expression “transport in the city of the future”? Flying taxis? Futuristic subway? Maybe a hyperloop (by the way, do you still remember what it is)?

Today we will talk about more mundane things - about the types of transport that are already with us, and in the future will become even more popular and in demand.

Cities develop and themselves dictate a new way of life. They dictate but do not impose because people always choose more convenient, healthy, more profitable ways of transportation.

🚲Bicycles and scooters

The environment of the city of the future is convenient and accessible. It is best illustrated

The 15 Minute City (known in the Western world as FMC - Fifteen-Minute City) is an urban planning concept in which the vast majority of daily needs and services are available within 15 minutes on foot or by bike. To work or university - on a scooter, to the supermarket - on foot, to the park - on a bicycle, isn't that cool?

The environmental friendliness of bicycles and scooters is obvious and pedaling also benefits physical health. Therefore, more and more people choose just such an easy transport. So, in 2020, Deloitte predicted that by 2022, that is, in just two years, the number of bicycles on the roads in many cities around the world will double. Of course, in Ukraine, there are enough problems with the regulation of this direction, and every year the opening of the cycling season is accompanied by mutual complaints from cyclists and motorists. But let's hope for the best - many bike paths will appear in our country, and drivers of all types of transport will be mutually polite.

🚝Public transport

It is better for the city when one bus with 80 passengers drives through the streets than 80 cars. The benefits are many: elimination of traffic jams, reduction of traffic accidents, and less negative impact on the environment.

But in order for public transport to replace cars, it must be very fast, comfortable, and environmentally friendly. Its most promising species are those that travel on separate tracks and do not cause emissions. Metros, trams, and their modified versions will form the basis of the transport system.

Of course, the transition to public transport is not a matter of a year or even a decade (in fact, that is why the article is called “Transport in the city of the future”). But we have someone to look up to - the examples of European cities show that there is nothing impossible in such a model.

🚗Car sharing

Of course, there are and will be situations when you cannot do without a personal car. But your own car is not really needed in a city where everything is nearby. Its maintenance and storage require money, and if the car is used infrequently, it is unlikely to pay off.

That is why car rental services are becoming an indispensable attribute of cities - large and small. They cover rare needs for cars - for example, when you need to leave the city, solve several cases in different areas within a limited time, transport large items, etc. At the same time, car-sharing companies are already focusing on cars that are most suitable for such purposes - comfortable and maneuverable.
