Taxi Tokyo - Future Taxi

Taxi Tokyo is a design concept created by Norwegian designer Eva Marit Toftum. The taxi concept is designed to respond to the increasing amount of vehicle on the road. The new taxi would feature a driving cab, towing a series of passenger cars behind. The system would work by having the passenger units spread throughout the city. Passengers would get into the units and set their destination. The driving unit would come by and pick their car up along with a number of others and take each person to their destination. The design minimizes the number of vehicles on the road, sharing load by bundling the cars together. While traveling may take longer, the effect of reducing taxis on the roads would speed up traffic as a whole.
