Description
This paper explores the competition between various modes of travel as a function of range and between travel and electronics for communicating. An evolutionary development of our means of travel is described which would introduce new concepts for improving the capacity and capability of our urban transportation systems while mollifying unwanted side effects. A Freeway Express Transit is outlined which would better use the already huge investment commitments in land, equipment, and social way of life that have made the automobile such an important factor. It would retain the eminent role of the automobile while evolving the transportation systems toward more socially satisfying means.
