<a href="https://www.inhabitat.com/2007/11/13/transportation-tuesday-mits-stackable-city-car/"></a> While public transportation is a great green urban option, the "last mile" problem is a real shortcoming- referring to the conundrum of the extra distance from your bus or train stop to your doorstep (while this may seem trivial to some, Midwestern commuters can attest to the annoyance of this problem). The folks at MIT think that they may have a solution to that problem: The <a target="new" href="http://cities.media.mit.edu/projects/citycar.html">City Car</a>, a stackable electric two-passenger city vehicle, would combine the best features of mass transit, car-sharing, and personal vehicles in a high-density, high-convenience system. Meant to work more like a car sharing service than that of a personal vehicle, MIT hopes to change the way that we think about personal transportation....<br><br><a href='https://inhabitat.com/transportation-tuesday-mits-stackable-city-car/'>READ ARTICLE</a>
