New York has always been a city that defines the future by demanding better. We first flew here in 2023 and now we're showing what the next chapter looks like: a quiet, zero operating emissions air taxi service designed to better serve New Yorkers.
The planned order is expected to include 12-meter and 18-meter vehicles, and potentially also 24-meter bi-articulated trolleybuses. All units will be equipped with traction batteries enabling off-wire operation. The new trolleybuses are expected to cover at least 20 kilometers without overhead wires, while remaining fully compatible with Riga's extensive existing trolleybus infrastructure.
It's here, and it's happening right now. That's what's so remarkable and so exciting. Flying right here in San Francisco past this iconic landmark of the Golden Gate Bridge, so today is a landmark achievement for our company and a dream come true for me.
This recognition reflects the joy of cycling and the community spirit of every woman who has been part of our journey. Together we are creating accessible and empowering spaces for Muslim and ethnically diverse women to cycle and become more healthy.
The all-electric vehicle service will allow riders to move anywhere within the city and help address cracks in the current public transit system that left students and others stranded, according to the Sunnyvale City Council, which unanimously approved the service this week.
Passengers will be able to book an air taxi ride through the Uber app in Dubai before the end of 2026, the company said on Wednesday. The option will use flying electric vehicles created by startup Joby Aviation. Joby's aircraft can fit up to four passengers and are flown by commercial pilots, the companies said. Joby will operate four landing locations, or "vertiports," in Dubai, connecting Dubai International Airport with a mall, a hotel on Palm Jumeirah, and the American University of Dubai.
The Boring Company signed a partnership agreement with Dubai Roads and Transport Authority on the sidelines of the World Governments Summit 2026 to start the implementation of the Dubai Loop, as per the tunneling startup in a blog post. The agreement was signed on behalf of Dubai RTA by Mattar Al Tayer, director general and chairman of the Board of Executive Directors, and on behalf of The Boring Company by James Fitzgerald, the startup's global vice president of business development.

The tiny Fiat Topolino-about the length of a cargo bike and half as long as an American SUV or pickup-is the kind of car tourists stop to photograph as a cute curiosity in Rome or Milan. The electric car only travels 28 miles an hour, and it's designed for dense European cities. But it also only costs around $10,000, and Fiat is now betting that Americans are ready for something this tiny.
Copenhagen has an impressive résumé when it comes to high-quality living. This year, the Happy City Index ranked Copenhagen as the world's happiest city, based on factors like health, mobility, and environment. Plus, the World Happiness Report named Denmark the second-happiest country in 2025. After spending a week there on a solo trip getting a small taste of the Danish city and talking with locals, I think I understand why.
Faced with the combined forces of population growth, economic prosperity, and urban expansion, cities are witnessing a significant rise in the movement of people and goods-mirroring the evolution of diverse mobility systems within urban environments. As technologies advance and modes of transport evolve, the adaptive reuse of train carriages, airplane cabins, and other service infrastructures reveals opportunities to explore their creative potential. Materials, technologies, and design tools converge around a shared goal: refurbishing and repurposing disused structures to give them new life.
The story of the legacy mobility improvements was non-linear and required vision, tenacity, and coordinated implementation. Initial plans for Paris 2024 focused exclusively on bus- and rail-based public transportation. Just two years before the opening ceremony, existing bike routes to the venues were unmarked and dangerous. Local cycling advocacy groups urged Olympic organizers to integrate active transportation into their mobility plans, warning that public transit alone would not be able to handle the anticipated 15 million visitors.
In today's fast-paced urban landscape, mobility is everything. Yet, for too long, city riders have faced an impossible compromise: do you choose the powerful, comfortable ebike that's too heavy and bulky to carry? Or the lightweight, foldable option that sacrifices performance and style? At Heybike, we believe every journey should be a blend of joy and inspiration. Here comes a new chapter in urban mobility. The all-new Helio F embodies this belief - a folding ebike that redefines how modern riders move through the city.
It has four wheels and a tall trailer, which make it look like a truck. But it also looks like a bike because the driver pedals it, usually in the bike lane. It's an ingenious contraption, built for last-mile deliveries in crowded city streets, but it's arguably too big for existing bike lanes and too slow for the street, so everyone in the city seems to get mad about its presence wherever it is.
Marginalized in architectural discourse and often dismissed as purely functional, parking garages remain among the most ubiquitous structures in the urban landscape. Designed to accommodate the needs of private vehicles, they occupy central locations, shape skylines, and consume considerable resources, yet rarely receive the same attention - or architectural care - as cultural institutions, schools, or housing. Despite their prevalence, these buildings tend to fade into the background of daily life, treated as infrastructural necessities rather than as design opportunities.
The first race in the series, which Bauer calls 'Man Versus Machine,' saw him take on the 509 Harbourfront, which runs from Exhibition Loop on the city's waterfront, to Union Station downtown, a journey of roughly 3.1 kilometres.
Performing wheelies requires significant practice, but the Wheelie Fun Bike V1 allows riders to effortlessly achieve this skill with the push of a button.
