Rob Walker, in his article, explores the possibilities that cities can change their patterns of mobility using technological advancements and innovation as Uber and the Ride-sharing service model. He recognizes some of the most remarkable initiatives in the U.S bringing and presenting the insertion of these innovative platforms on public transportation and reduction of car demand. Some of the examples presented in the article are, how the town of Altamonte Springs in Florida promoted Flexbus, a model in which city bus's routes respond to the demand of users located in bus's kiosks rather than prefixed routes and stops.  Unfortunately, this project is lacking in financial sources right now. Orlando is another example in which citizens are subsidized every time that they decide to use the Ride-sharing model. Orlando's suburbs has developed a partnership with Ride-sharing firms to make it a reality. Academic research centers such as Senseable City Lab from MIT, Berkley's Transportation Sustainability  Research, and American Public Transportation are interested in studying the benefits of such technological platforms and its inclusion in public transportation.
