Intermodality is a key concept for city development, building on an increase in public transport and soft mobility (walking, biking, etc.) Citizens are looking to plan their trips in ways that efficiently combine different means of transport. Applications and interactive terminals allow them to find information, and new players in the sector are offering shared rides by private persons to complement private and public transport networks.
The Finnish capital is being equipped with touchscreens for its citizens and tourists. The content at each terminal is adapted to the neighbourhood where it is found. These terminals provide information on shops and noteworthy sites in the area, as well as timetables for public transport and data such as the average ecological footprint in the neighbourhood.

This app allows subscribers to find parking for their vehicles in different cities in France, pay a flat fee or a rate per minute, find out in real time the number of spots available, and follow instructions to get there. The parking spots do not belong to Zenpark, but rather to partners such as hotels, lessors, businesses, who can thus optimise the use of their parking lots.
The San Francisco-based online platform enables car owners to lend their vehicle to other private users, receiving an hourly or daily fee for the service. The platform provides insurance and assistance to all users.
