BWhen my brother and I were young, my mom would take us onTransportation Days.It goes like this: You cant take any
40、means of transportation more thanonce. We would start from home, walking two blocks to the rail station.Wed take the train into the city center, then a bus, switching to thetram, then maybe a taxi. We always considered taking a horse carriage inthe historic district, but we didnt like the way the ho
41、rses were treated, sowe never did. At the end of the day, we took the subway to our closeststation, where Moms friend was waiting to give us a ride homeour first carride of the day.The good thing about Transportation Days is not only that Mom taughtus how to get around. She was born to be multimodal

And your personal car, if youhave one, becomes just one more tool in the toolboxand often aninadequate one, limiting both your mobility and your wallet.On Transportation Days, we might stop for lunch on Chestnut Street orbuy a new b
44、ook or toy, but the transportation was the point. First, it wasexciting enough to watch the world speed by from the train window.
