Bloomberg reports a two-day experiment at a Paris metro station, where passenger turnstiles were turned into turbines that converted kinetic energy to electricity.

In the US, the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority has seen a 14 percent decline in crime on trains and buses. WMATA credits increased police patrols on vehicles and the addition of more than 30, 000 cameras. Source: WMATA.
