Traveling used to be free. You could walk, run or swim anywhere you wanted. Now these cars and airplanes are ruining travel, they are expensive and hard to maintain. You have to buy tickets from vendors and the experience is completely different than walking.
i know you're joking, but it is an interesting parallel to draw. consider how roads often make walking unsafe, infeasible, or even overtly illegal. and consider the externalities of automotive culture.
This, but with people constantly asking you why you’re cycling to work when cars are the future.
You need to go back thousands of years to find a time when all traveling was walking, running or swimming.
But it was free!
