Top 25 Commuting Ideas in September

From Modified Retro Scooters to Innovative Hourglass Trains

— September 27, 2017 — Autos
The top September 2017 commuting ideas explore a number of new gadgets that promise to improve the lives of commuters, as well as large-scale systems and collaborations that are making it easier for people to get from point A to point B.

Companies like Lyft and Amtrak, which both share space within the transportation industry, are now collaborating to offer complete transportation solutions. This partnership makes it possible for riders on Amtrak trains to be conveniently picked up from the station and driven home in a Lyft. These kinds of collaborations speak to the seamless way many consumers hope for their daily travels journeys to unfold.

Some of the most forward-thinking commuting concepts include hourglass-shaped trains, bike-sharing loyalty programs and urban vehicles that help consumers get around with a combination of pedal and solar power.
