"Helsinki has an ambitious plan for its future. By 2025, the Finnish
capital intends to revamp its public transport system to such an extent
that private car ownership becomes pointless. The bold initiative is not
just about providing more buses, trains, or taxis, but about creating a
new transport infrastructure based on cutting-edge technology and a
single, affordable payment system."

Good to see some real innovation here.

Share and enjoy,
