Here, we have compiled a list of 10 quotes and titbits, which capture transport and mobility. These quotes will help you enjoy smooth movements around your city, ease off daily stress, inspire you to be more productive and help you focus at work.
However, these inspirational quotes are made by motivational speakers and stakeholders in the transportation industry across the world. You may have heard some of them before but they are great quotes that are insightful. Check them out:
1. You cannot understand a city without using its public transportation system. — Erol Ozan
2. Walking is the perfect way of moving if you want to see into the life of things. It is one way of freedom. — Elizabeth von Arnim
3. Some beautiful paths can’t be discovered without getting lost. — Erol Ozan
4. When you are travelling by bus, it is always difficult to decide whether you should sit in a seat by the window, a seat on the aisle, or a seat in the middle. If you take an aisle seat, you have the advantage of being able to stretch your legs whenever you like, but you have the disadvantage of people walking by you and they can accidentally step on your toes or spill something on your clothing. If you take a window seat, you have the advantage of getting a clear view of the scenery, but you have the disadvantage of watching insects die as they hit the glass. If you take a middle seat, you have neither of these advantages, and you have the added disadvantage of people leaning all over you when they fall asleep. You can see at once why you should always arrange to hire a limousine or rent a mule rather than take the bus to your destination. — Lemony Snicket
5. Faster is fatal, slower is safe. — Amit Kalantri
6. There can be no doubt that the transportation sector is the most critical sector of our economy. — Robert Brady
7. Our transportation decisions determine much more than where roads or bridges or tunnels or rail lines will be built. They determine the connections and barriers that people will encounter in their daily lives, and thus how hard or easy it will be for people to get where they need and want to go. — Elijah Cummings
8. Transportation is the centre of the world. It is the glue of our daily lives. When it goes well, we don’t see it. When it goes wrong, it negatively colours our day, makes us feel angry and curtails our possibilities. — Robin Chase
9. On public transportation, you see things that no one should have to ever see. — Anonymous
10. For every $1 billion we invest in public transportation, we create 30,000 jobs, save thousands of dollars a year for each commuter, and dramatically cut greenhouse gas emissions. — Bernie Sanders
