Want to be frustrated by public transport options from the comfort of home? Play Geo Racers.

If the developer of this app collected anonymized data on usage of this app, it could inform transport planners.

A screenshot of the Geo Racers app interface, showing a map of Gibraltar and nearby Kessock Bridge in Inverness. The game provides £500.00 in virtual funds and tasks players with reaching a green 'START' flag while following two rules: no flying and checking into a hotel by 2 am unless overnight transport is available. The app highlights nearby train stations, bus stations, boat stations, jobs, hotels, and banks.

World map showing global overland and ferry routes that can be traveled without flying. Colored lines connect cities and capitals across continents: yellow for bus routes, green for train routes, orange for taxi routes, and blue for ferry routes. The network is densest in Europe and Asia, with sparser connections in Africa, the Americas, and Oceania. The map is credited to jol.earth

Las Pasajeras or Chiveras in Oaxaca are vans that move people, with music and tarpaulins that wave in the wind.

They are a collective solution that was born from the community to move the whole city.

Stylized graphic with bold text reading “¿Qué son las Pasajeras?” over a background image of a pickup truck used for community transport in Oaxaca. Graphic combining text and photo. Spanish text explains that Las Pasajeras are a community-created form of public transport that emerged to fill gaps in urban service. Photo of a covered pickup truck used to carry passengers, alongside Spanish text describing Las Pasajeras or Chiveras as vans that connect neighborhoods daily and protect riders from sun and rain. Poster-style graphic showing a palm tree and a playing card.Text explains that although many operate informally, they are now being integrated into official mobility plans with mapped public routes.

A detailed LinkedIn post by Mitmachstadt Herrenberg promoting their city’s new navigation app called "stadtnavi." The post highlights the app’s open-source nature, benefits like CO₂ tracking, weather and public transport updates, and its anonymous, data-saving design. It positions stadtnavi as a scalable, white-label solution for rethinking urban mobility. A promotional social media post featuring a woman riding a modern cargo bicycle through an urban street, with the caption encouraging viewers to "Discover now" and linking to an app available on the App Store and Google Play.

Table showing passenger satisfaction ratings for informal public transport across five African cities: Accra, Cape Town, Freetown, Kumasi, and Maputo. Ratings (1-5 scale) compare seven service attributes: overall quality, coverage, security, crew interaction, affordability, safety, frequency, and comfort. Cape Town scores highest overall; Freetown scores lowest. Vehicle comfort is the lowest-rated attribute across cities, while service coverage is the highest.
