Future Transport

[Oorki Galoorki]

yes i can see those type changes happening in and around cities but in country areas it will still be very dependant on individuals owning transportation.
considering where i live the public transport starts a 9am(cos no one working would use it )this means you cannot use it for work purposes generally..

All I can say is that while hybrid/electric cars are so UGLY, I will spend as much as I have to on petrol. Why, Toyota? Why can't you just make a Prius that *looks* like a VZ Commodore (or, seeing as it's Toyota, a decent Aurion or something)? These bleeding 'eco-friendly' cars are so awful to look at, they hurt my eyes. I'd never be seen dead in one.
I *love* public transport on the rare occasions I'm anywhere near a capital city, but unfortunately I don't hold out much hope for having any improvements in regional areas (I mean well away from the cities, I'm 600km north of Brisbane for instance), at least not in my lifetime while the government is solely focused on South-East Queensland and pretends the rest of the state doesn't exist. I'd happily use public transport if I actually had the option, but up here it's either buses every hour and a half between 8am and 4pm on weekdays (which isn't practical as it takes literally an entire day to get to two places, you spend all day sitting waiting for the next bus), or taxis, in which case I may as well drive my own car.

Jet Packs. A girl can dream right?

I have no doubt that some of the major car industries have tricks up their sleeves waiting for the right moment.

I've always wondered if jet packs would prove a problem if you had a larger posterior?
It's pretty vital that I know, I need to know whether I can let myself go or not.

Jet pack boots.

People keep saying teleportation (though not here, I notice). I just think of what Douglas Adams wrote about that:
I teleported home last night
With Ron and Sid and Meg.
Ron stole Meggie's heart away
And I got Sidney's leg.

Great minds Ryn I was going to say Jet Pack boots ala astroboy LOL!

I'm with Nelle, I wanna be zipping around like George Jetson. But out here we don't have a choice BUT to drive if we want to go somewhere as we are out of town. I think it will make the entire world collapse financially because the average family could not afford to replace a car so quickly and the Govts around the world would go broke subsidising it.
