Means of Transportation

I love to go on long drives... Wouldn't it be great!!! to be taken out on a ride on a UFO...
I was just joking!!! In today's busy world the busy means of transportation go far beyond
than just giving a joy ride...
  A bicycle, often called a bike or cycle, is a human-powered, pedal-driven, single-track vehicle, having two wheels attached to a frame, one behind the other. Several components that eventually played a key role in the development of the automobile were initially invented for use in the bicycle, including ball bearings, pneumatic tires, chain-driven sprockets, and tension-spoked wheels.
  A motor scooter is a motorcycle similar to a kick scooter with a seat, a floorboard, and small or low wheels. Scooters are popular for personal transport, partly due to being cheap to buy and operate and convenient to park and store
  An Autorikshaw is a common means of public transportation in many countries in the world. Also known as a three-wheeler, tempo, tuk-tuk , an auto rickshaw is a usually three-wheeled cabin cycle for private use and as a vehicle for hire.
  A jeep is a four-wheel drive vehicle of one-half- to one-and-one-half-ton capacity for reconnaissance or other army duty. Useful features of the smaller Jeeps are their short wheelbases, narrow frames, and ample approach, breakover, and departure angles, allowing them to fit into places where full-size four-wheel drives have difficulty.
  A car is a wheeled, self-powered motor vehicle used for transportation. Most definitions of the term specify that cars are designed to run primarily on roads, to have seating for one to eight people, to typically have four wheels, and to be constructed principally for the transport of people rather than goods. Cars are equipped with controls used for driving, parking, and passenger comfort and safety. New controls have also been added to vehicles, making them more complex. Examples include air conditioning, navigation systems, and in car entertainment.
  A truck also called a lorry is a motor vehicle designed to transport cargo. Trucks vary greatly in size, power, and configuration, with the smallest being mechanically similar to an automobile. Commercial trucks can be very large and powerful, and may be configured to mount specialized equipment, such as in the case of fire trucks and concrete mixers and suction excavators.
  A bus is a road vehicle designed to carry many passengers.The most common type of bus is the single-decker rigid bus, with larger loads carried by double-decker and articulated buses, and smaller loads carried by midibuses and  minibuses; coaches are used for longer-distance services.Buses may be used for scheduled bus transport, scheduled coach transport, school transport, private hire, or tourism; promotional buses may be used for political campaigns and others are privately operated for a wide range of purposes.
  A train is a form of rail transport consisting of a series of vehicles that usually runs along a rail track to transport cargo or passengers. Motive power is provided by a separate locomotive or individual motors in self-propelled multiple units. Although historically steam propulsion dominated, the most common modern forms are diesel and electric locomotives, the latter supplied by overhead wires or additional rails
  A ship is a large buoyant watercraft. Ships are generally distinguished from boats based on size, shape and cargo or passenger capacity. Ships are used on lakes, seas, and rivers for a variety of activities, such as the transport of people or goods, fishing, entertainment, public safety, and warfare. Historically, a "ship" was a sailing vessel with at least three square-rigged masts and a full bowsprit.
  An airplane is a powered, fixed-wing aircraft that is propelled forward by thrust from a jet engine or propeller.The broad spectrum of uses for airplanes includes recreation, transportation of goods and people, military, and research. Most airplanes are flown by a pilot on board the aircraft, but some are designed to be remotely or computer-controlled.
   I dream of a locomotive that drives on the road, maneuvers rough terrain, paddles on still water, rafts down water falls, flies in air, rockets out into space...
...My flight of fantasy continues and knows no ending...

Dream Car

           Vow I would like to own a dream car that is superfast like a racing car,
can fly in air like a helicopter, become a paddle boat upon still water,
raft in flowing water, maneuver rough terrain with suction legs and much more...
           The car must have fully automatic transmission with slider gears. Fully
automatic wipers with spray and heater for snow. The car must be air conditioned
for hot summers and have heating in winter. The car must recognize its owner
with the help of finger print recognition and be equipped with anti theft alarm.
the car must be equipped with central locking, cctv, dvd player or pen drive
reader, mobile charger. The route and location on map is able to be
displayed. A whether  forecaster would do fine. The air bags must spring up
for safety and the safety belt must come with a beeper. The car must be
equipped with collision sensors that slows the speed or end auto breaking.
the head light glows automatically in darkness. The unbreakable glass
windows come with sunscreen that automatically cover glare of the sun.
The car is equipped with automatic indicators. Coated in light emitting
fluorescent metallic luster, not to forget must provide trailer. The car must be an LED car which changes colours at a click with colourful designs too. The horn can be played along with the animated speed signals displayed on the rear.
        Well I have dared to dream of a techno savvy car... have you???
