Getting Around The City

Post author By Editor
Post date 25/09/2022

More from the InnoTrans 2022 event of mobility and transportation. The move to digital experience has accelerated. The trend of big companies and governments embracing start ups and smaller companies to help solve key problems facing transportation. One Berlin based start up is teaming up with DBahn for a car hailing service as part of monthly metro pass.

Autonomous automobiles were talked about, but I am not convinced. Right now this technology is in its infancy with many questions.

As I have written, I am in favour of anything that can get me around a city in less time.

VDL bus (Below) set the tone of a Star Trek Spaceship. Captain Picard could be at the helm.

Soon, there will be more charging stations on the streets. I liked the Digital screen and minimal look of EM Card.

Traveling Los Angeles could get easier in the future with these two modes of transportation.

Skoda showed off a long train. I am sure there is enough space for all during rush hour. A Spanish tech company Zeleros told me their hyper loop concept will be operation in 2030.

Zipping around Paris for fashion Week will be easier on this rolling stock. Berlin Seating interior. I know this Milan Metro Line 1 interior all too well, during Milan Fashion Week it is my de-facto limo.

Getting Around

Post author By Editor
Post date 24/09/2022

I attended my first InnoTrans event in Berlin. Why would I go to a mass transit trade fair? As a person who uses public transport in every city I visit for either business or pleasure getting around is crucial. I am not a high profile magazine editor wearing Prada. During fashion weeks I jump on and off buses, trams and metro networks all day.

InnoTrans is the largest mobility event in Europe occurring every two years. After Covid, there was a great deal enthusiasm to reconnect. I knew no one. Twenty-nine massive halls with exhibitors from around the world discussing mass transit. Ask me about the brake mechanics of a tram, not a clue! But there was a shift to mobility, design and customer experience. Manufacturers and operators are transitioning to to connected and digital spheres. Metro screens guide riders to transfers or local spots. Transport apps better coordinate travel plans. Regional trains have vertical bike holders as well as battery rechargers for commuters.

Overall, it was fascinating participating in InnoTrans, a learning curve, but well worth it.

Sitting in the KonCar Tram felt similar to a living room experience instead of the cattle car feel of mass transit.

Pod Car-Hopefully, in 2024 these will be on the street

These interactive displays have to potential to engage users in many ways.

Buzzing around in the air similar to the iconic 1960’s cartoon THE JETSONS.

Connected and having a green thumb now go hand and hand. Growing food in 2022 has been made easier. At IFA 2022 there were many options.

House and counter top gardens trended this year in Berlin. Several start ups along with established white goods brands showed new in house gardens for bringing nature inside. The techniques went from hydroponics to recycled materials.

This is encouragement for all us brown thumbs.

More on the LG Stylish

What I liked about the LG Connected Home display at IFA. It presented style along with a distinctive comfort. Many tech brands show being connected as cold and sterile lacking warmth. LG decided on a more human feel. Designer Moooi gave the pieces splashes of prints and colors combined with statement elements.
