I’d do it, no TSA, no searches or scans merely because I want to travel and exist. Of course that would become my entire trip, I’d get a chair and some tables on the side walk and enjoy the slow moving scenary…most the time in cars were going so fast we don’t notice the little things.
Well, let’s see. A very fast travelator could go 9 mph, so they can look forward to another 26+ hours to chat about their travel decision. Of course, they could also walk on it, and cut the travel time to 19 or so hours.
Arthur C Clarke’s “The City and the Stars” ……..the travel ways are solid at the edges and fluid in the centre, so you can progress faster the closer to the middle you are.
“I saw before me that ribbon of highway,And high above me, an endless skyway,” – ol’ Woody
Having most of my American ancestors coming from those who walked and/or paddled over, I couldn’t appreciate the refrain – until a campfire in Grand Canyon when the IRS was taking away the Sierra Club’s non-profit status for spending 2% of their budget on stopping the scheme to flood the Canyon for hydro like they had done upstream at Echo Canyon. Then I understood this land really was made for those who will take care of it.
Someone giving the travellators of Narita International Airport (Tokyo)- getting Singapore Airlines means you have over walk/ride three kilometres to the secure area.

If they start walking, they’ll get there even quicker. Don’t see the point of standing still on those things.

Perhaps it is a comment on the multi-billion dollar boondogle know as the “Bullet Train” project in California…

Reminds me of a story from Clifford Simak’s The City.

templo SUD; You can eliminate west – the Channel Islands are too close and Hawaii is too far, although both have some desert regions.

This is clever, you can set up chairs and just sit and travel to LA
