Moving Towards Transition: Commoning Mobility for a Low-Carbon Future
Drawing on an innovative project exploring current mobility transition policies and practices in 14 countries around the world, including key institutions such as the European Union and the United Nations, this book provides a critique of current transitions, mobility and transport policies. The authors consider how our mobility futures have been imagined, what they will potentially look and feel like, what lives we might live in them and what choices we might have to make to get there.

Two centuries ago the elites, living off the worker's effort, were traveling in coaches, and the commoners were going by foot through mud and horse crap.
Half a century ago, the ticket for the coach is the same no matter the social origin, but the leeches, like Adey and his gang, have introduced passports. Now everybody can use the coach, but the poor stay here, and the elite can travel wherever they please.
Today, with the EU, the workers can travel wherever they please too. So Adey and his gang are creating a new era of restrictions. After all the people have to work hard, and pay taxes, so the leeches could be paid generously for sitting in offices. And the new scheme is ”low-carbon futures”. The exploiters will once more be separated from the annoying workers, because you will not afford to ”offset” your carbon footprint.
