.urban mobility
Mobility means space, speed and privacy. But in almost every case, one of these assets can not be achieved. A private car creates a larger time consumption if you drive around in town but makes transport way easier outside of it. It can give you a private space and serve as whatever you need for the time of driving.
Although it seems like a great mobility system, it is highly flawed. Apart from making calls, listening to music, or talking to someone sitting next to you, driving is always the main focus point. The time spent is always looking ahead through a piece of glass.

.stuttgart?
The alternative, public transport does not only mean getting from A to B the cheapest. If you need to get something done by the time you arrive, what better way to travel than being chauffeured without any traffic through the most populated parts of town?
But the same way cars can not be everything you desire, public transport does not give you any private space, a guaranteed seat or any chance to choose what is happening around you.

.change!
Being born in Stuttgart may have a good and a bad side to this story. Thinking of home always brings back good old memories you do not want to change. On the other hand, it makes you even more defensive if something does not go the way it should. To say it plain, things need to change drastically! The air quality is one of the worst in the world, traffic jams are immutable due to infrastructure and having the equal amount of space for living and cars not only make it expensive to live but also shows the focus is not life quality.
.concept
To combine both worlds of private and public transportation, certain parameters have to be set. Keep the flexibility of a car but make it usable as public transport. The size of the vehicle is made to make space for up to four people. This ensures space to work while keeping the outside as small as possible.
Passengers sit facing each other to make the most of the usable space. Additionally, the seating position was chosen to make the passengers look at the sealing, avoiding direct eye contact, and ensure a comfortable and nondistracting journey.
.creatng a system
Key factor for a purposeful solution is a dynamic, that increase usability and allow a scaling in usernumbers. Of course, no transportation system is for everyone or solves every problem there is, but making a step in a cleaner and more efficient future should always be the goal.
