This ought to be good. What if the “messy,” unplanned parts of cities — the slums, the informal markets, the self-built homes — are not failures, but the city’s own rough draft?
Echanove and Srivastava argue that urbanism should start with the people who shape cities every day, not just the officials who plan them from above.

This article lumps informal transport in with private cars and app-based cabs as part of the city's problem. Seriously? Informal transport is likely the stopgap that is preventing total gridlock.

NYC’s taxi comeback. From yellow cabs in New York, to trufis in Bolivia, to jeepneys in the Philippines, transport, policy, and apps should express local culture.
People want transport that feels like home.

Antananarivo's new urban train: "Cheaper than a motorcycle taxi. And then on the train, you have more space, it’s safe and the view is beautiful.” (Translated from French.)
That one quote says a lot about what travelers want from public transport.

À Madagascar, les habitants d’Antananarivo peuvent depuis hier emprunter un train urbain. Seize kilomètres et huit stations entre le centre et le sud de la capitale malgache. Initié par le précédent régime, ce projet de mobilité urbaine était enlisé depuis plusieurs années. Il doit contribuer à désengorger le centre-ville, en proie à une circulation chaotique et dangereuse. Les premiers passagers sont ravis de ce nouveau mode de transport.
Spain is making transport simple. One monthly fee, all the public transport modes — like Netflix for the public transport sector.

A new urban train service has launched today in Antananarivo. Do your thing, OpenStreetMap.
Prediction: In one year, it still won't be in Google Maps.
