Most of us have heard of mobile technologies for Uber and Lyft. Car-sharing apps such as Zipcar are becoming a common solution to transportation needs. Apps providing information on train, bus, and plane schedules, and how they can be coordinated have become a normal expectation that is widely available and utilized over the past decade. Currently, some companies are beginning to provide mobile applications for various unique modes of transportation. Some examples of this are &#8220;<strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.limebike.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Limebike<\/a><\/strong>&#8221; and &#8220;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bird.co\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Bird<\/strong><\/a>&#8220;. Lime is available in major cities worldwide, In Canada, it is available in Calgary, Edmonton, Ottawa, and Victoria. They promote carbon-free modes of transportation such as electric scooters and bikes. The app has mixed reviews as it seems to have some challenges with its consistency. I am curious to see how apps in these areas of transportation will evolve, improve, and mitigate transportation issues in major cities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"534\" height=\"864\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec523\/files\/2021\/09\/image-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6991\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec523\/files\/2021\/09\/image-2.png 534w, https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec523\/files\/2021\/09\/image-2-185x300.png 185w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 534px) 100vw, 534px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">References:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.li.me\/en-us\/home\">https:\/\/www.li.me\/en-us\/home<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Transportation apps are changing and evolving.
