In Helsinki in 10 years there will be cars





The city management has developed a project thanks to which citizens will be able to navigate the city by public transport with the same ease that now I do it on the machines. In 2025 will launch an application for smartphones that will combine the functions trip planning and payment terminal. You can use all of the wide range of urban transport: buses, taxis, ferries, metro and even bicycles.

To work as needed, developers will have to make use of public transport was comparable to the cost of using the car, as well as in no way inferior to him in simplicity and convenience.





In Helsinki generally a lot of innovations in the field of public transport. For example, it recently launched a network of Kutsuplus buses. The originality of these buses is that the person chooses the point of departure and destination. From the taxi, they differ in that you can cooperate when ordering this bus. You can pay through a special application for a smartphone, and will soon add more payment via SMS.





As he wrote in The Guardian: "Imagine a system of travel planning Citymapper combined with the service of bike hire and taxi like Uber, while requiring only one payment and operating as a public transport, then you will understand how this ambitious project."

The project is successfully designed for a generation that cares about the environment and don't care about the status accorded to the presence of the car.
