- Book 1 of 1: Children's Picture Book
Each page brings children to a different era and type of public mobility from horse drawn carriages to the first subways, buses, light rail vehicles and mag lev trains. Along the way they can picture themselves riding these fun vehicles and traveling to their destinations. Then children see how the future will be amazing with autonomous vehicles, Hyperloop and Vertical Take Off and Landing Aircraft (VTOL) shuttling them to a new age of public transportation.
Public/private schools and home schoolers can use this book as a way to introduce children to the important world of public transportation - its history, present and future. Share with your children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews what you do for a living in public transportation - whether you work as a bus operator, mechanic or administrator. Using this book you can explain to them how to ride and use public transportation as a means of mobility or even a possible future career.Advance Praise for Public Transportation
"We sing about the wheels on the bus and mimic the choo-choo of trains before we can even fathom the benefits these offer to our health, cities, and the climate. This engaging manner of familiarizing children with the history and future of mobility thrills us! And we must admit, we learned an exciting thing or two along the way. Hoping to see the coming generations on "Public Transportation!"
- UITP, International Association of Public Transport
"This delightful book shows children how public transportation has been a vital link to mobility for generations. It is important that the future leaders of our world understand its history and integral role in building and sustaining communities. I can’t wait to read this book with my four-year-old granddaughter so we can talk about using and supporting public transportation systems."
-Lauren Skiver, CEO & General Manager of SunLine Transit Agency, Coachella Valley, CA
"Public transportation is rooted in our history and will shape our future. This book is a fun, interesting and beautifully illustrated way to encourage the next generation to understand its importance!"
-Erinn Pinkerton, President & CEO, BC Transit, British Columbia, Canada
"This book is everything we want for our younger kids to read; its fun and interesting, so they are engaged, but also its full of informative facts to feed those inquiring young minds. All kids are fascinated with transport, this book builds on this to educate the Engineers and Scientists of tomorrow."
-Professor Graham Currie FTSE, Chair of Public Transport, Director, Public Transport Research Group,
Institute of Transport Studies, Monash University, Australia
