Designer Mac Funamizu dreamed up these Future Transportation Concepts with the idea that crowded public transit in Asia would be shed of a great deal of chaos. Two primary ideas came out of his studies that help to deal with people on foot and those who are riding the subway.
Firstly, a system of moving sidewalks was devised that would be intended for installation in busy train stations or as underground pedestrian highways. Lane after lane would guide you swiftly from A to B, with the strips gradually increasing in speed towards the outside. The fastest would move at the pace of a bicycle.
The other Future Transportation Concept is a real-time ceiling subway map. More train riders would see it above them than they would on the wall, and this would give them an up-to-the-minute understanding of their exact location, thanks to a moving red indicator.

Trend Themes
-
Streamlined Moving Sidewalks — The implementation of moving sidewalks in busy transit areas could help to reduce overcrowding and speed up travel times, presenting an opportunity for design and installation companies.
-
Real-time Subway Maps — Developing real-time subway maps that are visible from the ceiling could improve riders' understanding of their location and speed up the commuting process, offering opportunities for technology and transportation companies.
-
Underground Pedestrian Highways — Designing and constructing underground pedestrian highways could decrease pedestrian congestion in urban areas, creating opportunities for construction and urban planning companies.
Industry Implications
-
Transportation — The development and implementation of streamlined transportation systems and technology offers opportunities for growth and innovation within the transportation industry.
-
Urban Planning — The creation of efficient and organized pedestrian transit systems presents opportunities for urban planning and design companies to improve the accessibility and functionality of city infrastructure.
-
Construction — The construction of new transit infrastructure, such as underground pedestrian highways or moving sidewalks, presents opportunities for construction companies to expand their services and capabilities.
