Bing Crosby once sang “We’re busy going nowhere, Isn’t it just a crime”.
Thank goodness we now know the answer to congestion and where we're going. The bumper stickers will help us more than the inflatable dolls. And, though Robert Moses failed, an 82-year-old hitchhiker continues to confirm the innate kindness of most human beings.
Enjoy your travels.

A glimpse of transport perfection and rapid transformations. The laws of garden sheds, sartorial elegance and bohemian excitement. We can choose to be a participant, an observer, or simply ignore the theatre of travel around us. The choice remains ours.
Enjoy your travels.

Making small talk and breaking bread with strangers. It can make both parties much happier. Reach out, show interest, respect and be kind. The legend, and sound, of carrots and the ejection seat.

Restid, travel time
Restid (with an "i") explores why so many people are now embracing shared transport. It's a lifestyle choice rather than just a mode of travel. The motivations for change vary: convenience, safety, cost, and environmental responsibility, are often cited. But the one that really intrigues us is the desire “to explore”.
Whether resting, reading, watching or writing, chatting or listening, travel time is our time, to use as we choose. And a great journey is like a book that you want to finish but not to end.
