'''Paradigms''' | |||
Climate change regulations coupled with increased environmental awareness and traffic congestion problems will alter the way people think about travel and therefore they will switch to more efficient ways to travel, as well as to conserve energy, such as by using public transport. Increased use of public transport will encourage radical innovations such as superbus and these innovations will more or less determine the future of transport. | |||
