Emerging transit modes may soon transform our daily travel routines. At Punchcut Labs, we created a concept mobility service to illustrate our vision for the future of commuting.

Planning

Subscription travel

We envisioned Hover as a subscription service, covering basic daily travel in simple passenger cars, with upgrades for specialized amenities like work and gym cars, or add-on products and services like popup dining, shopping and entertainment experiences.

Boarding

Biometric ticketing

With Hover, you’ll never need to worry about boarding passes or security lines. Hover uses a distributed network of cars with multipoint biometric identification to recognize you and make sure you get where you’re going safely and quickly.

Departure

Adaptive spaces

Hover trains can reach speeds of nearly 700 mph, but immersive interfaces help orient and prepare riders, and adaptive interior layouts provide forward-facing seating during departure which transforms for comfort and utility once the train’s at cruising speed.

Travel

Modular experiences

Choose the car that’s right for you. Dining cars provide food and drink options, sleeping cars offer rest and relaxation for longer routes, work cars act as mobile offices, shopping cars as popup stores, and entertainment cars as immersive cinemas.
