According to the World Economic Forum, there is a 30 % worldwide yearly gap between what should be and is spent on infrastructure. Unfortunately, this gap is only increasing as population of Africa and India continues growing quickly. This chapter will describe the likely financial players and potential new financial instruments that could bridge such gap, as well as the e-mobility technologies that could help finance public transport and new business models that could reduce pressure for new transport infrastructure. We will describe what the key success factors to enable successful structure finance projects and Public Private Partnerships are. We will show how existing financial instruments (i.e., voluntary carbon market, carbon credit, green bonds, corporate donation and tax exemption, certificate of potential increase in construction) could be adapted to finance new roads or metro lines. We will also propose out-of-the-box solutions based on e-technology such as fast lane cross-subsidizing and localized congestion charges, which could be used to pay for new transport infrastructure projects. We will explain what the geo-localized advertisement technologies are and how they could eliminate public transport deficit by creating new sources of revenues. This chapter will also show the growing importance of transportation Apps and how they influence positively the traveling experience of public and private transport users. Finally, we will present new business models that the e-mobility revolution can bring such as car sharing, car pooling, or convoying on dedicated lanes, and show how they can also solve the need for more infrastructures. We will end this chapter by focusing on the taxi industry and explain why we believe that the conventional taxi industry is doomed. Under the pressure of hailing companies using powerful Apps, regulated taxi markets will be challenged. When driverless technology will be available, conventional taxis won’t be able to compete with unmanned taxi companies proposing fares at one-fifth of the normal prices or even less if we envision a multi-point to multi-point transport model. When cars will be driverless, electric, and owned by an operator, the distinction between public and private transport will cease to exist. This doesn’t mean that taxis will disappear. On the contrary, driverless taxis are likely to become direct competitors of buses and light metro operations.
