Nightmare Scenario: Without A Car, What Would You Do for Transport?
By Ron
aka WayTooFurious
It’s easy to see why the car continues to lead the pack as one of the industrialized world’s most-used forms of transport. Besides public transport such as buses and trains in some cities, nothing has been able to come close to the convenience, practicality and fun that a car can provide. Remember all the hype that surrounded the Segway when it was launched, how it was going be the next big thing? Thankfully, that never happened. Sure, they can be fun and cheap to run, but it’s the middle of winter in my part of the world and I could think of nothing worse than commuting to work on a Segway! Of course, the Segway isn’t by any means the first "alternative" form of transportation, and there are a lot of choices out there, but if I was forced to ditch my car I would probably settle on something like the Airboard. It has a petrol motor and looks like a hell of a lot more fun—check out some video of the airbords in action. If you were forced to give up your car and had to pick another form of transport, what would you chose?
