Abstract
We envisage a transport system producing zero emissions and sparing the surface landscape, while people, on average, range hundreds of kilometers daily. We believe this prospect of "green mobility" is consistent with historical evolution. We lay out the general principles, extracted from widespread observations of human behavior over long periods of time, and use them to explain past transport systems and project the next 50-100 years. We discuss in detail railroads, cars, aeroplanes, and magnetically levitated trains (maglevs).
