@alice does it have to exist in reality? If not, I would say Tar Trek's transporters. If it does, good bus and rail service including point to point and not just hub and spoke.

@alice

As I'm well-known for hating cars, I'd love to have that super power.

I think electric busses (driven by humans, preferably not men) would actually be rather nice. They can even use existing infrastructure and are not bound the specific routes (think of anything on rails and an accident or malfunction along the way blocking any further traffic on that line).

If throwing practicality overboard is a thing, please provide me with a network of Silt Striders – I've got plenty of time. #Morrowind

@alice
bicycles, ebikes, cargobikes, etc. Just makes the most sense for efficiently covering distance.

@alice I love trains choo choo 🚂🚂

@alice @Jorg1w Ziplines. A massive network of ziplines, with people and freight lifted to the necessary heights by wind-and-water-powered winches.

@alice @Jorg1w
Medium range Teleporters

Remove the cars but leave trains, trams etc. (Public transport)

You'd be able to transport directly to a train station if you wanted to, or just safely walk there

Why not teleport everywhere? The human connection during travel. There's a reason a lot of stories use "strangers meet while traveling". Plus, who doesn't enjoy staring out a window at the landscape rolling by?
