Planes Trains and Automobiles
Transportation in America just isn’t what it used to be. Terrorism and airline bankruptcies have made air travel an ordeal. Getting through airports these days is a hassle. To counter financial losses the airlines have eliminated many flights, and they overbook the others. Legroom and amenities are increasingly scarce. Intercity passenger rail travel has become an endangered species. It long since ceased to be a reasonable alternative for anything except short-haul commuter travel and people who are afraid to fly. Automobile prices continue to rise. Gas is over three dollars a gallon. Rush hour traffic only gets worse. We grew up believing the future always brought better things, new technology, faster, more comfortable ways of getting from place to place. Ironically, at a time when our technology enables us to build the most advanced, most sophisticated transportation conveyances circumstances have conspired to limit our enjoyment of them.
