Synopsis

Today, we can travel across the world in very short periods of time through fast-moving vehicles. It was not possible a few decades ago. But have you ever wondered how this became possible? The Story of Transport takes you on a journey, spanning the invention of wheel to modern-day marvels of speed. It also makes you aware that although vehicles have contributed to humankind s progress, their overuse is polluting the environment. Indeed, they are contributing to global warming and suffocating our planet. So get, set, go, and find some fast, green ways for futuristic travel!
