The São Paulo Intermodal Challenge is simple. The goal is to get from point A to point B as quickly as possible – during rush hour – using the mode of transportation of your choice. At the recent Challenge contestants ranged from cars, bikes, motorbikes, and a helicopter to buses, metro, their own feet and even a wheelchair. A biker won the challenge, with a total time of 22 minutes – more than 10 minutes faster than the person on the helicopter, who spent a total of 33 minutes and 30 seconds between going to the heliport, waiting for takeoff clearance, flying and landing. The car came in with a total time of 1:22– slower than the runner, who took 1:06, the bus (1:11) and just 10 minutes faster than the person who chose to walk the whole path (1:32).
