“The interstate highway system was never built? Where all cities are connected by rail lines. Much fewer cars in use. Less air pollution, no traffic jams, quieter places. No mass destruction of neighborhoods an countryside.for soulless highways. Now driving a car is a choice, not a necessity.”
“In the cities, citizens whisk about town on extensive electric light rail an trolley lines. Neighborhoods thrive since residents are unable to flee to far off suburbs and exurbs. They must remain in the cities as they grow and spread along with the electric trolleys snaking forth in metallic ribbons. The cities are made livable. Down towns are busy merchant districts, not raped-by-shopping-malls ghost towns.”
Later you get sleak, fast jet-powered maglevs that go both below an above ground.Wouldn’t mind living in that world.
