Mike Rutherford thinks now is the perfect time to re-evaluate your modes of transport
20 Dec 2020
What better occasion than now – Christmas 2020 – to reflect on transport patterns during the troubled year just gone, before planning our likely travel needs in 2021 and beyond?
I used to feel almost affronted when signs nosily asked me, a free man in a free country: “is your journey really necessary?” But times change, and it’s now a valid question. Justifiable reasons for travel for the foreseeable include driving for emergency purposes, or for charity, family, food, friends, health, or work and education that can’t be done at home. Pretty much everything else isn’t really necessary now, is it?
