Roads are built for buses, cars, and trucks.
In the United States three new methods of transportation made their appearance at almost the same time - the steamboat, the canal boat, and the rail car.
When I was in my college, I remember travelling by buses to tutions, and I have travelled by local trains as well.
Passengers want options, and when they have options, like passenger rail, they choose them.
People have to make journeys, what we want is people to have alternatives in public transport so that they can make a choice about the sort of way in which they're going to travel.
Every mode of transport that we use - whether it's planes, trains, automobiles, bikes, horses - is reusable, but not rockets. So we must solve this problem in order to become a space-faring civilization.
Pipelines are by far the safest way to transport petroleum. They are safer than tankers, safer than trucks, safer than rail.
Shipping by water is cheaper than by rail, which is cheaper than by truck.
I cycle whenever possible around London. But I travel first class when I need to fly.
Growing up in New York City, my car culture is minimal. I rode on the train, the bus. I walked; I rode my bike, and when I was younger, I rode my skateboard.
The bicycle thing - well, since people couldn't use their cars, they had to use their bicycles, didn't they?
The idea of traveling in Africa for me is based on going by road or train or bus or whatever and crossing borders. You can't travel easily or at all through some countries.
On a plane you can pick up more and better people than on any other public conveyance since the stagecoach.
