Syria is a war-torn country. As the Syrian people rebuild their country, the new mobility system will be a part of the rebuilding process. This multi-modal mobility system uses and incorporates traditional Syrian craft and culture into the design of new mobility solutions for Syria. The government helps private industry fund vehicle production and hires local artisans to design and decorate those vehicles as a way to bring the culture back. 
All of this is to use the reconstruction of critical transportation infrastructure as a way to also preserve and rebuild some semblance of Syrian life before the war and hopefully provide some emotional healing.
There are two modes in this system. One is traffic mode with vehicles moving in the city for daily commutes; another is the market mode with static vehicles gathering as a mobile bazaar. 
A modular tuk-tuk is a suitable option for this multi-function system based on economic and practical reasons. The entire tuk-tuk is a six-people taxi for commuting in the traffic mode. In the mobile market mode, the tuk-tuk transforms into two parts. The front part becomes a mono-occupant vehicle, which operates as a small taxi. The rear part becomes a mobile shop. In this mode, people are able to go shopping at this mobile bazaar. The shop owner, who is also the driver of the tuk-tuk, can use the mobile as a place to showcase crafts or products. With this modular design tuk-tuk, this system can either connect communities as a transportation system and rebuild the economy or bring back the glory days of Syria.
