Driving in Los Angeles is more than just a matter of transportation. It's a culture and a way of communicating to the world that you are alive and have success. For many people the car's become such an important part of their life, to be considered as a natural member of the family. Few cities can say that a large part of their design and identity are due to the highway network.
Los Angeles can.

Predating the Incas, the Uros people have lived for centuries on "floating islands" on the Peruvian side of Lake Titicaca. They make their homes by folding the totora reeds that grow on the lake into layers thick enough to hold several houses. Just as their ancestors did, the Uros people bundle totora reeds together to make structures and sturdy boats used for fishing and trips to the mainland.

PA-LA LOMA is a bicycle club located in Bushwick, a neighborhood in Brooklyn, New York. The members of PA-LA LOMA don't get together to practice biking as a sport, but to enjoy each others company and relax, what they call "bacilar". After spending sometime with them and appreciating their pimped bicycles, we understood that the main reasons why these guys get together is their love for retro collectable bicycles and puerto rican brotherhood. They all agree that by riding a bicycle they don't only save money but life is more enjoyable.

The need for transportation when funds are low creates a need for people to be creative with their mode of transport. In Lao and Cambodia this seems to be evident. In these photos we see families on a back of a tractor, walking the roads in Lao to get from one place to another . In Cambodia we can see people sleeping on their bikes, others riding,standing and sitting beside their form of transport. For some this is how they earn their income to survive.

The Haifa subway is the shortest in the world and the design is totally unique. The system opened in 1959 and has 6 stations along its 1.8-kilometer track that climbs Mount Carmel in Haifa, a coastal city in northern Israel. The system transports around 2,000 people along the track each day and is among the most unusual subway stations in the world. Despite Haifa’s short tramway-like subway and efforts to improve the bus system, there are a ton of traffic problems in the city.

More than five storeys tall, weighing an estimated 40 tons, each of the four wheels higher than the tallest human, the annual Deepam Car Festival is a spectacular celebration of divinity, when the giant wooden car, freshly painted and gaily decorated, is drawn through the streets of Tiruvannamalai, South India, by thousands of human hands pulling on massive iron chains, each link of which is half as long as a human forearm, while tens of thousands more fill the air with cries of "Annamalai Arohara!" (Hail Shiva!).

A way of transport that can replace the current automobile in urban areas. This is accomplished by a service involving 2 vehicles: these are a folding bicycle of your own and a rental electric vehicle.
In the end, it should lead to a more multimodal way of transport, with cycling (or walking) being the first choice, eventually combined with bus, metro, train or the rental electric vehicle.
