Moving sidewalks, also known as travolators, were first introduced in 1871 for Broadway. However, the prevalence of automobiles has led to their absence in urban environments. While this technology has found its niche in airports and metro stations, it has not made a significant impact on city streets. The lack of moving sidewalks in cities highlights a shift in infrastructure priorities, favoring vehicles over pedestrian convenience. This absence suggests potential opportunities for innovation and improvement in urban transport systems, which could challenge competitors in the market focused on enhancing urban mobility solutions.
