Cities in Motion: Design Now

The Modern Design expansion adds five brand new modes of transport to Cities in Motion. Increase speed, efficiency, and capacity with the following vehicles:

• Stern-Berger Midi – Built to Swiss quality standards and with a cutting-edge look, the Midi is a bus that is perfect for busy urban areas. Its light weight, relatively short wheelbase, and low floor make it easy to maneuver and board passengers.
• Pavlov P-42 – The Pavlov Aeronautika factories were founded in the mid-1910s as part of the Pavlov industrial complex. Ivan Pavlov, a pioneer in rotary-wing aircraft design, personally piloted the P-42 on its maiden voyage. Initially designed for defense against submarines, the rotorcraft soon became incredibly popular for air taxis. A robust helicopter with a relatively low weight and slow acceleration, it is ideal for medium-range passenger and cargo flights.
• Stingray City jet – Stingray City jet is an Australian-made catamaran for fast short-range travel. The recently announced third generation of this transport has excellent fuel capacity and a relatively low noise level. These catamarans are designed for regular ferry services and sightseeing – they have both comfortable accommodation and a service platform.
• Vagabondo Satellite – Made in Italy, the Vagabondo trams were originally introduced in Rome during the improvement of the city’s rail system. The Satellite is a very reliable, if not the most attractive, one-piece tram on three two-axle bogies with a partially lowered floor. The driver’s cab is located at either end of the body.
• Crescenta T4 Suburbia – The Crescenta T4 Suburbia is a Danish invention that is a combined metro and commuter train, mainly used for travel between transit hubs and suburban stations. Its design hints that it is based on a more traditional means of transport.
