#FirstMile #Sendle and #ACILogistix have crumbled suddenly after their merger to create Fast Group, with Sendle immediately canceling all shipping and abandoning packages in transit.

Allegedly due to inaccurate financials disclosed by ACI Logistix during due diligence.

New #OpenAccess research in JTLU: “How #bikesharing changed destination distance for its users: A case study of Chicago Metropolitan Area” by Shubhayan Ukil, University of Michigan, and Aditi Misra, University of Colorado, Denver.

The paper examines the impact of #Divvy shared bike services in the #Chicago metro region on trip distance of its users across all trips from 2008 and 2018, finding an 0.84km reduction in average trip distance among Divvy users when #bikeshare was available.

Recommendations include planning for shared bike services that are integrated with #transit in urban areas and promoting mixed land use so that users can choose proximate destinations in dense urban areas.

Infrastructure sensors will gain importance by adding an additional layer of monitoring, guidance and security to future road traffic. Road users, no matter whether V2X-connected or not, will be recognized and added to the digital roadmap.

Ingolstadt, Bavaria, Germany is building just that, to allow start-ups, industry and academia to test their ideas.

#Grab is expanding its pilot for a new #ehailing feature that lets people save money with their bookings, as long as they're willing to wait.

The new #GrabCar Saver option offers a lower fare for rides saving up to 20% off of the usual #fare.

This is similar discount to its #GrabShare option, but unlike the #carpooling feature, people won’t be limited to just 1 #passenger but rather 4 #passengers like #JustGrab.

There were protests of "Why an LRT, why not something else?" when the Penang LRT project was announced.
Still, a good public transportation system would help #Penang grow & hopefully ease its ever-present gridlock. I look fwd to taking the LRT from the airport to Komtar ;)
However, please don't ignore #firstmile issues. No point having fancy LRT stations without car parks or any connectivity from them!
