Philadelphia looks to increase parking enforcement, add "pop-up" lots with SEPTA cuts looming
With SEPTA service cuts coming soon, Philadelphia is urging both residents and commuters to consider alternate travel plans as experts predict an increase in vehicle traffic across the city and region. SEPTA's plan to eliminate 32 bus routes, shorten 16 and reduce service on 88 bus, Metro and Regional Rail lines will likely lead to more cars on the roads — and make commutes about 18-20% longer, according to one estimate. And that's just the first round of cuts taking effect Aug. 24, with more coming in January if state legislators can't come together and provide funding to cover the transit authority's $213 million budget gap. Many SEPTA riders will bear the brunt of the cuts by waiting longer for their transportation or traveling farther to a stop. But other passengers who spoke to CBS News Philadelphia in recent weeks say they plan to drive or take a ride-hailing service to commute if their SEPTA route goes away or becomes too crowded. In preparation for the impending cuts, the city released a guide Tuesday encouraging travelers to explore options besides driving in the city, like park-and-ride — parking at a train station away from Center City and then riding the train in. Here are some other changes being made with the goal of lessening traffic. The city says the Streets Department's Traffic Operations Center will be staffed between 5 a.m. and 7 p.m. to cover all peak commuting hours. The center can adjust the timing of traffic signals if needed and coordinate a repair crew. The Right-of-Way Unit in the department will also work with construction and utility permitholders to limit closures on arterial roads and major streets, but any emergency work will still proceed. To keep traffic moving, inspectors from the Right-of-Way Unit and Highway Division will patrol city streets to make sure permitted work doesn't start before 9 a.m., during peak commuting hours. The Philadelphia Parking Authority will also be involved, increasing enforcement on North Broad Street and ensuring no parking in lanes meant for travel during peak hours. PPA and the city may add additional "pop-up" parking at vacant properties near transit stops, according to the guide. Commuters who can avoid driving in or around Center City, especially during rush hour, are encouraged to do so. The guide also points to other modes of transportation like the PHLASH bus, the Indego bike share and walking.

How Often Do You Change Drive Modes in Your Car?
The latest car news, reviews, and features. Almost every modern car has multiple drive modes. Specialized cars get granular; a Toyota 4Runner has multiple off-road traction modes, while a super sports car like a McLaren has specific engine and handling modes. Even your daily driver probably has an 'eco' and 'sport' button. My question is—are you guys using them? In my current fleet of nine vehicles, counting ranch rigs, only one has drive modes—my 2017 BMW 330 wagon. It starts in Comfort by default, then can be toggled to EcoPro, Sport, or Sport+ with a rocker switch on the center console. I don't use them all on every single drive, but I do use them quite often. The M5 Touring's range of modes is a little bigger than the 330's, but I still think the older car is prettier. Andrew P. Collins Andrew P. Collins For example, if I'm driving from my place in the Hudson Valley to my in-laws' in the Adirondacks, I'll leave it in Comfort on secondary roads, drop it into EcoPro for the highway haul up north, and then run it in Sport when we get to the twisty roads up in the hills. It's not like the car's entire personality changes; the ECU is simply slightly altering the way it reacts to inputs. But I genuinely appreciate being able to optimize the vehicle's responsiveness for conditions like the scenario I just outlined. On the highway, I like being able to coast at low rpm to save fuel. In the mountains, the higher shift points and more aggressive throttle are beneficial. I love BMW's EcoPro setting from the 2010s era. It drops engine revs to idle speed whenever you're coasting, but without taking the car out of drive. As a result, you can glide down hills at 70 mph and like 750 rpm, spiking your mpgs and dropping your water temp nicely. I never bother with Sport+, which, on my car, just relaxes stability control a little bit in addition to sharpening throttle response and setting more aggressive shift points (I don't have adjustable suspension or anything). I almost always have my dog, wife, and some cargo in the hold when I'm driving my wagon, so extra wheelspin is … let's say 'unpopular.' How about you? Do you make use of your car's drive modes? And if so, where and when? Got a tip? Drop us a line at tips@

11 Years Later, Elon Musk Is Floating the Flying Car Scam Again
'Maybe we'll make a flying car, just for fun,' Elon Musk told the Independent back in 2014. The news outlet insisted at the time that Musk wasn't joking and that he should be taken seriously, given his success with other companies like PayPal. At the time, the Tesla CEO was worth a measly $8.4 billion according to Forbes, a fraction of the $413 billion he currently holds on paper. But when a billionaire CEO says he's going to do something, you're supposed to hear him out. 'We could definitely make a flying car—but that's not the hard part,' Musk was quoted as saying in 2014. 'The hard part is, how do you make a flying car that's super safe and quiet? Because if it's a howler, you're going to make people very unhappy.' Well, Musk never built a flying car. Probably because there are many more hurdles beyond making them quiet. Piloting them, for instance, poses a huge problem since most people aren't trained to fly. But Musk clearly hasn't given up the dream. Or he hasn't given up the hype, to be more precise. Because Musk loves to toss out wild ideas to get attention and suggested in a new tweet Tuesday that Tesla might be taking up the challenge of flying cars, writing, 'Maybe Tesla should make this.' Musk was quote-tweeting an AI-generated video of a Cybertruck outfitted with wings. The vehicle is seen flying among a post-apocalyptic wasteland 'run by robots,' which seem to be hulking around with no real purpose. Maybe Tesla should make this — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) August 19, 2025Can Musk pull it off? We're not going to hold our breath. Flying cars have been imagined for well over a century, with inventors and popular tech magazines insisting they were always just around the corner. There was the flying car of 1923, imagined in Science and Invention magazine for 50 years into the future. There were the flying cars of the 1950s, including a prototype that actually flew. And there was good ol' George Jetson in the 1960s, signalling to young baby boomers of the time that a wondrous, shiny future awaited them by the time they got older. The flying car felt inevitable for just about every generation of the 20th century. But nobody could quite pull it off. One of the most infamous flying cars was the flying Pinto of 1973. Two guys founded a company in 1968 called Advanced Vehicle Engineers, abbreviated as AVE, with the dream of mass-producing flying cars in California. The men strapped the wings and rear engine mount of a Cessna plane onto a Ford Pinto, a car that was known to explode even when it stayed safely on the ground. The company founders took off in the vehicle from Ventura County Airport on Sept. 11, 1973, and crashed, killing both men. And yet, flying cars are always just a little beyond the horizon. If you take a close look at the headlines, flying cars are often promised to be just two years away. It's a trend I noted back in 2015 when AeroMobil said their flying car would be released by 2017. I promised at the time that I would literally eat the sun if that car was released to the public. Needless to say, I didn't have to attempt such a feat. It didn't help that AeroMobil crashed during a test flight, though no one died. The company closed down for good in 2023. I'm not going to say that Musk will never create a flying car. They've been built before, and they exist in some form. The thing that doesn't exist is a market for them. People need to get a pilot's license to fly a roadable aircraft. Musk, as the wealthiest person in the history of the world, could easily use some of his $413 billion to build a plane that looks like a Cybertruck. The question is whether he could mass-produce one that people would actually buy. Tesla has sold just 52,000 Cybertrucks since they were released in November 2023, according to CNBC, far short of the 1 million preorders the company got when the truck was first announced in 2019. Part of that might have something to do with the fact that the Cybertruck is much more expensive than what was promised. Or it could be that it doesn't have the range or towing capacity that was initially advertised. Those pathetic sales might also have something to do with those two Nazi-style salutes Musk gave on the day of President Trump's inauguration back in January. Who knows for sure? Whatever it is, building a flying Cybertruck for mass adoption seems extremely unlikely right now or any time in the foreseeable future. Unless Musk was talking less about the flying Cybertruck in that AI-generated video and was referring to the apocalypse part. That seems very doable.
