![]() Cars have been the future of transportation for quite some time, and probably will be for a while! Hmm.. transport came in this order first the roads then the canals then the railways then air. Railways are a new technology and it's only the f**ked up transport economics we have in this country, denying a fair playing field for railways, that has stopped them reigning supreme the way they do elsewhere. Railways are indeed a nineteenth century technology but proper roads were invented by the Romans, which makes roads an outdated BC technology. The future for cars looks very bleak unless they can be persuaded to run on electricity. Though there was a steam car around a while ago how ironic would that be? Mind you, if we turned our cities over to cycles, affording them similar priority, that would probably be the finish for cars. I personally would far prefer to do my numerous short car journeys on a bike and it's only the lack of a death wish that has stopped me from doing so. |
