Transportation in large cities causes issues due to inconvenience within traffic, pollution, and limited parking space. In the city of New York, people run into these issues in their everyday lives, trying to find their way to the next location in such hurry.
Design opportunity:
Transportation in such busy city needs a change to allow the people to enjoy convenient and safer ways to get to one place to the next by creating other beneficial systems within the city. Such examples can be seen through Zipcar, or Europe’s bicycle rental system. Zipcar allows people to easily rent a car near their desired location, within a low price range. Similar to Zipcar’s system, Europe’s bicycle system allows the people to rent a bicycle at any station and return it at any station as well.
