Looking around the globe for lessons in equitable mobility in the new technology-enabled era of transportation.
Aniruddha Dasgupta and Guangzhe Chen from the World Resources Institute write for the Thomson Reuters Foundation on the subject of "new mobility"—ride-hailing services, bike and scooter share, and more.
"These so-called 'New mobility' services and technologies are not just a phenomenon in wealthy countries; middle- and low-income countries are also showing the way," according to Dasgupta and Chen.
