Message for the "anti-roads" fraternity

[Brazen]

Roads are the future. Public transport is outdated and old fashioned.

Imagine in 2015 waiting on the side of the road for a bus in the rain, waiting for it to trundle along slowly (on its own schedule not yours) picking you up then pottering off to the next stop 300m down the road. Finally you get to your destination - but it doesn't take you to the door, it's still a 5 min walk to the office. Also Imagine late at night and being a young female or blind or mobility impaired... Public transport is from the 1950s and I can't believe people accept it yet whinge about their internet being 2 seconds too slow.

The future is efficient, autonomous, environmentally, self-driving vehicles that communicate with each other and coordinate their actions with the roads and traffic signals. You are in your own vehicle with the climate and music set accordingly. You can work on your laptop or read a story to your kids. These vehicles drop you off to your door and then go and find a park or are a lease service and go and get the next occupant.

Mass rail transport will always be vital but We need modern fast flowing roads that will keep up with the rapid change in transport technology.
