Finland and its capital city Helsinki became well-known places on the map of the world when Nokia led the mobile phone revolution. That may now seem like a different era. But the Finns are working on a new exciting project. They want Helsinki to become the first major city to be completely free of the need for personal car use in 2025. The city is planning a point–to–point “mobility on demand” system which will be a combination of public infrastructure like buses and trains as well as aspects from the sharing economy like communal bike services and ride sharing programs like UBER and Lyft. Cool Finns.
