The bus is imagined with a single-module design that's made with an extendable chassis and bubbles, and would offer ample space for passengers to ride inside. The vehicle could also function as a mobile farm or a delivery vehicle thanks to its [modular interior](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-mobility-system), which would greatly enhance how it would function within the cityscape. The conceptual Bubblic Public is the design work of [Move Lab](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/on-the-move-caravans-crossfire-47) and ID+IM Design Lab, and features an open-concept design that feels airy on the interior to provide a comfortable space to stay during trips.The vehicle also imagines how [public transportation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vertically-integrated-smart-transit-system) could be evolved into the near-future. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 7.4/10 - Popularity: 99% | Activity: 96% | Freshness: 26% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Modular Transport Solutions:** Adaptable public transport vehicles featuring modular designs can serve multiple urban utility purposes, from passenger transport to mobile agriculture. - **Open-concept Interiors:** Vehicles with open-concept interiors provide a more spacious and comfortable experience for passengers, enhancing public transit appeal. - **Inclusive Urban Mobility:** Innovations in inclusive urban mobility present opportunities to redesign public transport for future cityscapes, integrating flexible functions and user-centric design. ### Where This Applies - **Automotive Design:** The automotive design industry explores multifunctional and modular vehicle concepts to meet emerging urban transportation needs. - **Urban Planning:** Urban planning professionals examine how adaptable transport solutions can be integrated into city infrastructures to improve efficiency and versatility. - **Agritech:** Agritech intersects with urban mobility as modular transport vehicles consider applications like mobile farming, broadening the scope of urban agriculture. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Semi-Amphibious Bus Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/estuary-hopper.md) - [Reconfigurable Travel Pod Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pix-robobus.md) - [Inflated Vibrant Futuristic Buses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mutated-school-bus.md) - [Transparent Self-Driving EVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unimo-electric-vehicle.md) - [Autonomous Interactive Shuttle Buses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coach-atoz-shuttle-bus.md) - [Weekend Excursion City Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playbox-urban-mobility.md) - [Electric Transportation Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-transportation-concept.md) - [Accesible Autonomous Transportation Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/autonomous-mobility-service.md) - [Autonomous Timber Transportation Shuttles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/timber-shuttle.md)
