The latest signs of trouble at airports are sought out and found in suspicious faces, according to a New York Times report today. But where is the panic and more security leading us? Have we let terrorists, traffic tie-ups and tottering oil fields … grind modern travel to a near halt? Is it time to begin a change in how we travel 
altogether?
With oil prices skyrocketing, car manufacturers struggling to keep up and air travel increasingly under fire… is it time to rethink travel options? Hove our transportation methods … developed over the past century … really helped us to build a better world through travel?
Transportation experts tell us that we cannot simply keep building greater traffic congestion problems … and yet some questions that we yet possess the technology to offer smarter travel choices. Increasingly environmentalists see the future not as more rapid transportation as we know it … but as more bicycle transit systems. What about travel beyond the congested cities?
Have you ever sat back and asked yourself … “How have modern transportation systems changed your life? Are we better off as a society than we were before? Have recent developments in transportation systems we’ve become accustomed to … really brought us together the way they promised in the beginning? And if so, how does the togetherness make us a better world today and in the future?
You can no longer think of transportation without thinking of its impact on terror… on globalization and on the communications now more common across cultures. What do you see as the next wave for travelers? Can modern technology transport us into a new system that prospers civility and restores the safety and privilege of traveling? What do you think?
