Baku builds momentum with new micromobility infrastructure
53 bicycle traffic light sections have been installed at 24 intersections, and thousands of safety barriers are being placed along bike lanes. A major step came in August 2024 with the launch of Baku’s first bike-sharing system, including electric bikes.
Azerbaijan, 3rd Jul 2025 – Bicycles and scooters have become a regular feature of modern Baku, as the city actively works to develop a convenient, sustainable transportation system. The capital of Azerbaijan is steadily building a comprehensive network of micromobility lanes, a central goal in its urban mobility transformation program. This initiative not only aims to boost public transport efficiency and reduce traffic congestion but also improve the environment and promote healthier lifestyles by encouraging cycling and e-scooter use for short trips.
The expansion of bike and scooter lanes is a cornerstone of this strategy. Unlike in the past, when users complained about the lack of infrastructure, Baku is now seeing a steady increase in micromobility users thanks to new, purpose-built lanes. The development includes road signs, markings, safety barriers, and traffic light sections specifically for bicycles, making micromobility safer and more accessible.
These efforts contribute significantly to enhancing urban life, reducing car usage, especially downtown, easing congestion, and lowering pollution. Visually, the city is evolving to resemble modern European capitals, and Baku’s commitment to sustainable transport is evident in its ambitious goal to build 100 km of micromobility lanes, including in surrounding districts to expand route connectivity.
So far, 53 bicycle traffic light sections have been installed at 24 intersections, and thousands of safety barriers are being placed along bike lanes. A major step came in August 2024 with the launch of Baku’s first bike-sharing system, including electric bikes. This allows users to rent and return bikes at convenient locations. Parking infrastructure has expanded accordingly, with 484 dedicated micromobility parking stations now available, mainly near metro stations, bus stops, schools, malls, and popular areas like the boulevard. These locations are marked with QR codes linked to a mobile rental app.
The system has seen significant uptake. From September 2024 to April 2025, over 1.5 million trips were made using shared micromobility, covering more than 4.1 million kilometers. Including private users, the total figures are even higher.
Various events promote micromobility awareness. On May 28, a cycling event marked Independence Day, while on June 1, another was held for World Bicycle Day, organized by ALTA (Azerbaijan Land Transport Agency), the Cycling Federation, and APAR (bicycle rental company). In May, the UN and local organizations held safety campaigns during the 8th Global Road Safety Week, focusing on high-traffic areas like Huseyn Javid Avenue near the Elmler Akademiyasi metro station, where new bike lanes were recently added.
A key concern for drivers has been addressed: most new bike lanes do not reduce the number of car lanes but rather optimize their width to European standards (3.0–3.25 meters), making road use more efficient. This principle of “channelization” improves safety, stabilizes traffic flow, and reduces accidents.
Given that 1.3 million people die annually in traffic accidents, many involving cyclists and pedestrians, enhancing micromobility safety is critical. While bringing many benefits, including improved public health and urban quality-micromobility also requires new infrastructure integration and shifts in commuter habits.
Baku continues to invest in infrastructure and public awareness, showing its dedication to building a modern, sustainable urban transport system where micromobility plays a growing and vital role.

Press Release
Dolly Varden Silver Confirms High-grade Gold System at Homestake Ridge
Dolly Varden Silver reported a significant gold intercept from a step-out drill hole at the Homestake Silver deposit. The hole is a 45-meter step-out along strike from hole HR24-433 and 30 meters up dip from hole HR24-451
Canada, 7th Oct 2025 – Global Stocks News – Sponsored content disseminated on behalf of Dolly Varden Silver. On October 1, 2025 Dolly Varden Silver (TSXV: DV) (NYSE American: DVS) (FSE: DVQ) reported a significant gold intercept from a step-out drill hole at the Homestake Silver deposit.
Hole HR25-456 intersected 3.34 g/t Au over 120 meters, including 216 g/t Au over 0.52 meters and 166 g/t Au over 1.3 meters.
The hole is a 45-meter step-out along strike from hole HR24-433 and 30 meters up dip from hole HR24-451
.
“These gold results from a step-out hole at the Homestake Silver Deposit confirm that the deposit continues to grow beyond the current mineral resource estimate,” stated Shawn Khunkhun, CEO of Dolly Varden Silver in the October 1, 2025 press release.
“These results demonstrate the strength of the high-grade gold system, potentially a separate and overlapping event from high-grade silver mineralization at the deposit; this deposit is potentially a key driver of future project development,” added Khunkhun.
“We have two lenses that are close to each other,” Rob van Egmond, VP of Exploration, told Guy Bennett, the CEO of Global Stocks News (GSN). “The second phase could overlap the silver-rich mineralization, or it could be a separate lens.”
“Any time you have overlapping events or long-lived fluid conduits, it indicates some of the precious metals may have been deposited during the Jurassic age [160 million years ago], while a second mineralizing event may have occurred in the Eocene age [40 million years ago]”.
“This duo-timeline mineralisation is one deposit is a known characteristic of the Golden Triangle. One of our neighbours has been age-dating their assays, confirming the presence of an Eocene age mineralised system.”
“When you find a regional corridor where Jurassic mineralization has been overprinted by Eocene mineralisation,” added van Egmond, “typically the grade is augmented in that structure. Hole HR25-456 had large flakes of visible gold.”
“When we purchased this asset,” van Egmond told GSN. “Homestake Silver had a higher ratio of silver to gold than Homestake Main. But we’re thinking about changing the name, because at investor conferences Shawn and I have to explain that Homestake Silver is now primarily a gold deposit.”
“Geologists are always working to either prove or disprove a model,” said van Egmond. “You collect data, assess it, and make modifications to the model as necessary. Hole HR25-456 is adding confidence to the current model.”
Five diamond drills are nearing completion of the 2025 drill program across the Kitsault Valley and Big Bulk Projects. At Homestake Silver, drilling has focused on expanding and infilling areas of high-grade gold mineralisation.
DV is also testing outside the current resource. Additional results from the Homestake Silver gold zone, Wolf Vein silver mineralization extension, Big Bulk copper-gold porphyry system, as well as other exploration targets, will be reported as assays are received.
DV Silver is using directional drilling technology to precisely target areas for step-out and infill holes at Homestake Silver.
“Directional drilling allows you to position the drill bit exactly where you want it to be, without re-drilling hundreds of meters from the surface,” van Egmond told GSN. “It’s an ideal technique for us to explore Homestake Silver.”
This animated video by Horizontal Technology gives a technical overview of directional drilling.
“A skilled driller can direct the course of the drill bit along a pre-planned path over great distances,” confirms Horizontal Technology.
HR25-456 is one of three holes drilled from the same pad, designed to extend the wide, high-grade plunging zone and test outside the current mineral resource model. The drill hole is approximately a 45-meter step-out along strike from previous intersects.
Approximately 40% of the 2025 season’s 55,000-meter planned drill program at DV’s 100% owned Kitsault Valley Silver and Gold Project targeted the Homestake Silver Deposit to expand and infill zones of high-grade gold mineralization.
The deposit remains open for expansion, with gold mineralization vectoring to the Homestake Main Deposit, along strike to the north of the Homestake Silver Deposit.
On October 01, 2025 Dolly Varden Silver announced a $30 Million Bought-Deal Financing featuring 2,300,000 @ $6.50/share; 750,000 flow-through shares @ $9.42/share and 990,000 flow-through shares at $8.10 per share.
“Flow-through shares enable public companies to transfer exploration expenditures to investors who can take advantage of the corresponding tax incentives, thereby ‘flowing their benefits through’ to the shareholder,” writes CG Wealth Management.
“Investors in a high tax bracket can use the tax credits from flow-through investments to bring down their personal tax owing,” added CG Wealth.
Pursuant to existing agreements, Hecla Canada and Fury Gold Mines will be entitled to acquire shares @ $6.50/share to maintain their respective pro rata equity interests in DV Silver.
DV’s metal inventory value is now approximately a 50/50 split between silver and gold.
“With gold selling for CND $5,400/ounce,” van Egmond told GSN, “our team is encouraged to hit 120 meters of 3.34 g/t gold.”
Rob van Egmond, P.Geo., Vice-President Exploration for Dolly Varden Silver, the “Qualified Person” as defined by NI43-101, has reviewed, validated and approved the scientific and technical information contained in this GSN release.

Matt Egyhazy on AI: The Future of Banking is Hyper-Personalized, Not Just Automated
New York, USA, 7th October 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, In an era where digital transformation is reshaping industries, the financial services sector stands at a critical juncture. The conversation around artificial intelligence has often been dominated by its potential for automation, process optimization, and cost reduction. While these benefits are significant, Matt Egyhazy argues that this view is far too narrow. He posits that the true, transformative power of AI lies not in replacing human functions, but in profoundly enhancing them to deliver an unprecedented level of client personalization.
According to Matt Egyhazy, the ultimate goal of implementing AI should be to move banking from a transactional model to a deeply relational one. The future, he suggests, is not a world of automated, impersonal interactions. Instead, it is a future where technology empowers financial institutions to understand and anticipate the unique needs of each client, offering tailored advice, products, and support throughout their financial lives. This vision re-frames AI as the engine for hyper-personalization, a tool for building stronger, more meaningful, and more resilient client partnerships.
Redefining the Role of AI in Financial Services
For too long, the narrative has positioned AI as a tool for internal optimization. The metrics for success were often inwardly focused: reduced headcount, faster processing times, and lower operational costs. Egyhazy advocates for a fundamental shift in this perspective. The focus must turn outward, toward the client experience. The new key performance indicators should be client satisfaction, financial wellness, and long term loyalty.
This approach requires thinking of AI less like a factory assembly line, designed for uniform efficiency, and more like a master craftsman’s toolkit, capable of creating something unique for each individual. It is about using intelligent systems to understand the nuanced context of a client’s life or a business’s operational cycle.
“We must see AI as a catalyst for empathy at scale,” says Egyhazy. “The technology allows us to listen more intently to the signals our clients are giving us through their financial activities. When we harness that understanding, we can move from being reactive service providers to proactive, trusted advisors. The goal is not just to make banking faster; it is to make banking smarter, more intuitive, and more aligned with the individual aspirations of our clients.”
The Mechanics of Hyper-Personalization
Achieving this vision of hyper-personalization is a complex undertaking, built on a foundation of robust, secure, and ethically managed data. AI algorithms can analyze vast and diverse datasets far beyond human capacity, identifying patterns, predicting future needs, and flagging opportunities that might otherwise go unnoticed.
This capability translates into tangible, real world applications. For a small business owner, it could mean an AI powered system that analyzes cash flow patterns and proactively suggests a more flexible line of credit before a seasonal downturn. This prevents a potential crisis and demonstrates a deep understanding of the business’s unique rhythm.
In wealth management, it could be a platform that adjusts investment recommendations in real time, not just based on market fluctuations, but also on subtle shifts in a client’s life goals, which are inferred from their changing financial behavior. For a commercial banking client, an AI might alert a relationship manager that a company is expanding into a new international market, providing the manager with the perfect opportunity to offer tailored trade finance and foreign exchange services.
“This is about connecting the dots in a client’s financial story,” Egyhazy explains. “Predictive analytics allows us to anticipate the next chapter in that story. We can be ready with the right advice or the right product at the exact moment it becomes relevant. That is a profoundly different and more valuable interaction than simply waiting for a client to come to us with a request.”
Balancing Technology with the Human Touch
A common fear is that the rise of AI will render the human element in banking obsolete. Matt Egyhazy strongly contests this view, arguing that AI’s true value is realized when it augments, rather than replaces, human expertise. The technology should be seen as a powerful co-pilot for financial professionals.
By automating routine and data intensive tasks, AI can liberate relationship managers, financial advisors, and other specialists to focus on what they do best: building trust, providing nuanced strategic advice, and navigating complex, emotionally charged financial decisions with clients. AI can provide the data driven insights, but it is the human professional who provides the wisdom, empathy, and contextual understanding to apply those insights effectively.
“Imagine a relationship manager who is freed from hours of manual data analysis,” says Egyhazy. “Instead, they walk into a client meeting armed with a set of AI generated insights about that client’s emerging needs and potential risks. The conversation is immediately more strategic, more forward looking, and more valuable. The technology does not replace the relationship; it powers it.”
Navigating the Ethical and Practical Challenges
This forward-thinking vision is not without its challenges. The ethical implications of using client data are paramount. Egyhazy stresses that any AI-driven initiative must be built on a bedrock of trust, which requires an unwavering commitment to data privacy, security, and transparency. Clients must have confidence that their information is protected and used responsibly to their benefit.
Furthermore, the “black box” problem, where AI decision making processes are opaque, must be actively avoided. Financial institutions have a responsibility to ensure their AI models are explainable, fair, and free from bias. There is also the significant technical hurdle of integrating sophisticated AI platforms with existing legacy banking systems and the critical need to upskill the workforce to collaborate effectively with these new intelligent tools.
“We must innovate at the speed of trust,” Egyhazy notes. “Progress cannot come at the expense of our fundamental obligations to our clients and our communities. Responsible innovation means being transparent, ethical, and deliberate in how we deploy these powerful technologies.”
A Vision for the Future of Banking
Ultimately, Egyhazy’s vision is for a banking ecosystem that is more responsive, more intelligent, and more human. It is a future where a client’s interaction with their bank feels less like a series of isolated transactions and more like a continuous, supportive partnership.
This future is one where technology and humanity work in concert to help individuals, families, and businesses achieve their financial goals. By focusing AI on hyper-personalization, the banking industry has an opportunity to redefine its value proposition, fostering a new generation of client loyalty built on genuine understanding and proactive support.
