Querido Marc, tal vez es inédito que el fundador de una gran plataforma exprese su opinión política. Menos inédito, quizás, es que otras plataformas lleven años usando sus algoritmos para manipular mi opinión y la tuya sin que nos demos cuenta. Mucho me temo que la decisión tomada por este gobierno elegido democráticamente no pretende promover la libertad y responsabilidad individuales de quienes les votaron. El tiempo lo dirá...

By choosing on-demand transport, we can help reduce the number of cars on our roads and cities. And, at the same time, achieve much more peaceful, quiet, and livable neighborhoods where reckless and rage driving will have no place.

In industrial areas, having a transport service with fixed routes and schedules that works exactly like a bus in a big city is usually very inefficient and has to be heavily subsidized.

Both the public and policymakers have trouble understanding why building more roads and highways does not reduce congestion.

Open knowledge, an integrated use of the data that people generate through daily mobility patterns, will let us make much more efficient use of existing or future transport networks.

Electric vehicle sales continue to grow year on year but there’s still a way to go before they overtake combustion engines. Now, though, new electric minivans could provide opportunities for cleaner local transport.

The electric-powered tuk-tuks are a hit among university students, many of whom had stopped attending classes due to the exorbitant costs of cabs.

Smart mobility trends are pushing towns and cities to explore new mobility options for citizens while still struggling to fund public transport models inherited from the 20th century.

Setting up a cloud of virtual stops to find the balance in terms of maximum walking distance -taking into consideration distance, time and even comfort- is a routine task for DRT planners.

The rise of digital taxis in urban Africa illustrates some of the paradoxes of informal inclusion initiatives. Digital ride-hailing companies claim to use new technology to create jobs, and enhance the efficiency of urban transport.
