    The future of transportation is no transportation.

    How many car miles could be saved each year if people didn’t have to go to the office to do their jobs? We were already most of the way there.

      That… is silly. Things need to move.

      So you expect us to live in a virtual pod with a treadmill and grow all of our own food? And collect rainwater?

      Edit: I’m not saying we shouldn’t reduce our need for freight. Growing food in your backyard (half of my yard is good production) reduces the need for freight emissions. And I cycle to work. But drive or fly on holidays, I wish we had a more reliable train network.
