Public Transportation

MMXII December 20, 2020: Public Transportation: UTC+14:  A long time ago lived a man eager to marry a woman, the desire of his heart.  The man, who owned a horse, sang songs to her, wrote her poetry and even danced for her.  The entire time he courted her, the woman mused on the man’s method of transportation and told her father who finished watching the courtship of his daughter .  When the man finally asked the woman’s father for the her hand in marriage, the father responded “I don’t about marriage just yet, but I have need of a good horse to send our harvest to the market and my daughter and her brothers and sisters to school.”

“In exchange for some wheat, I can lend you the horse” the man said. “I also have a camel to transport your family to the city.” And just like that public transportation was born

Public transportation has a very old history.  Animals were our first taxis, trucks and even school buses.  Even humans carrying other humans have worked in public transportation.  They still do today.  Now Trains, Metro-rail, People Movers, Cars, Buses, Trucks, Ships and Airplanes serve humans all over the world.
