Today customers expect door to door service, and with the options available to them in many cities, they are getting just that.

Transportation in urban areas has advanced far beyond subways, taxis and buses. Today customers expect door to door service, and with the options available to them in many cities, they are getting just that.

While Uber and Lyft are largely responsible for the changing dynamic of short-distance travel, they were not the first ones to think of new forms of personal mobility.

In Dallas, ridesharing company eFrogs has been shuttling passengers around the most popular areas for nightlife and business since 2010. The free trip service started with a business-to-consumer model, but Founding Partner Jeb Morris has shifted a significant amount of attention to B2B endeavors.

EFrogs partners with hotels, restaurants, convention centers and other businesses to set fixed ride schedules that provide more flexibility than buses, and personalized advertising opportunities.

On MarketScale Mornings, Morris explained why Dallas is an ideal place for new modes of transportation and why businesses are buying in to his electric vehicles.

Review of 120-plus UK transport plans finds big gaps in climate resilience rules

Review of 120-plus UK transport plans finds big gaps in climate resilience rules

A review of more than 120 UK transport plans finds they focus heavily on zero-emission vehicles and digital technology. The authors report significant gaps in resilience standards, metrics and statutory targets for the existing network. They say these gaps undermine effective asset management.

  • 01Across more than 120 UK transport plans, carbon gets the targets, while the existing network that carries most journeys gets a much thinner scorecard for climate risk.
  • 02Watch for the DARe hub's open-source modelling framework. Whether partner regions use it to stress-test investments will show if resilience gets a working metric.

Exotec survey finds 94% of warehouse robot buyers say switching costs too much

Exotec survey finds 94% of warehouse robot buyers say switching costs too much

Exotec's survey of 250 North American automation decision-makers found one in four regret their warehouse automation choice. With 94% calling a switch prohibitively expensive, the contract stage shapes the next 10 to 15 years. The report ties disappointment to lifetime-cost estimates, repair accountability and readiness.

  • 01With 94% calling a switch prohibitively expensive, an automation choice can lock buyers in for 10 to 15 years, making the contract stage the last practical point to fix cost, accountability or readiness gaps.
  • 02Buyers of low-cost systems were nearly five times as likely to say they picked the wrong vendor (24% vs. 5%), and far fewer rated root-cause identification as fast (52% vs. 74%).
  • 03Internal readiness tracks with outcomes: early adopters with dedicated automation teams and leadership oversight reported a 1% wrong-vendor rate, against 11% for fast followers.

Port of Corpus Christi weighs a DP World container terminal and 2,000-acre hub

The Port of Corpus Christi outlined a 2,000-acre Robstown logistics hub and a potential DP World container terminal. Leaders tied the $625 million ship channel expansion—11.9 miles widened and deepened—to evaluating container ships for the first time. No terminal deal is signed yet.

  • 01The Port of Corpus Christi’s $625 million ship channel project expanded 11.9 miles of channel, putting container ships on the table.
  • 02The signal to watch is a signed DP World agreement and visible work at the 2,000-acre Robstown site. Those steps could turn the pitch into an option for routing plans.
