Yesterday (September 22nd) was International Car Free Day. This annual day which began in 1994, is held in many major cities such as Portland in the US, Paris, Brussels, Copenhagen and Barcelona to name just a few.

But London did not have one! Could car free days be coming to London in the future? Mayor Sadiq Khan is certainly keen for it to happen and so are Londoners.

From a UK government poll taken last year, it appears that most Londoners are in favour of an annual car-free day. 63% of Londoners said they would support a one-off car free day in the centre, with 58% agreeing it should be a monthly occurrence.

The whole point of having a car-free day is for people to leave their cars at home for one day and find alternative transport to work and school such as walking or taking public transport with the aim to reduce air pollution. A genius idea really when you think about it!

Cardiff held their first ever car-free day yesterday but only one street was actually closed. Park Place in Cathays was closed yesterday until midnight. However, it may only have been one street that was closed but it is certainly a positive step in the right direction.

A new era of taxis is coming! But would you feel safe in a self-driving cab? As of today, Uber have launched their first driverless car service. Don’t get too overwhelmed yet as for now it is only available in Pittsburgh, America and only to their loyal customers. But it’s a sign that times are changing.

During the trial period, each cab will have an Uber employee behind the steering wheel just in case anything goes wrong.

These ford Fusion cars have all been retrofitted with light-mapping systems, radar, sensors and cameras.

Curious now? Check out these cool photos of what it will look like from the inside.

A few weeks ago we put on our blue Shiply capes to help out the Manchester and Cheshire Dogs Home get pallets of donated dog food delivered safely to the right paws.

They reached out to us on twitter in a bit of huddle about what to do.

Their situation was a ruff one, as they only had a few of days to get the pallets delivered so that’s where we came to the rescue.

We listed the delivery requirements on Shiply and received a variety of quotes in a short amount of time. So, within 24 hours we had the delivery booked and covered the cost of it.

Saving our furry friend’s paws and ensuring they have food for the next month.
