De fleste byer verden over står i dag over for proble-mer med trængsel, støj, luft-forurening og lav tilgænge-lighed. I fremtiden øges problemerne med en mar-kant stigning i antallet af ind-byggere. Derfor er det tid til for alvor at undersøge alternativerne, hvis vi i fremtiden nemt og fleksibelt skal kunne trans-portere os rundt i byen.

Most cities around the world today face problems relating to congestion, noise, air pollution and low accessibility. In the future, these problems will increase noticeably as urban populations also increase. Therefore, the time has come to seriously consider the alternatives, if we want a future with easy and flexible transportation in the city.
