“... sometimes trips go wildly awry, like when a couple in Paris got stuck behind a car accident on the way to the airport. Ezon immediately arranged for four motorbikes to pick them up in the middle of the highway (two for the travelers, two for their luggage) and zip them between gridlocked vehicles to make their flight.”

Relative to the cost of rebooking at zero notice beca u se you’ve missed you r flight, that sounds like a pretty cheap option.

Not exactly first world, either, apart from Ezon organising it.  A bandoning a car taxi in gridlock and transferring to a “ scooter taxi” is standard practice in many third world cities, and acceptable as long as you tip the taxi driver enough. I’ ve do ne it a few times.

You made me curiou s so I had to look it up. They’re the Russia-China aligned countries from the Cold War days - third world is the non-aligned ones and first world is the US-Europe  aligned.

I’d have guessed it was related to old world (Europe) and new world (Americas). TIL...
