Intermediate means of transport will
continue to be important throughout the world, in rich and poor areas. Examples
of 'high status' local transport solutions include trolleys at airports,
golf-courses and supermarkets, sporting bicycles, recreational animals and
tourist carriages. In rural areas, local transport solutions are often
necessities, not luxuries, but their value is often unacknowledged. There is
need to counteract the 'old-fashioned' image and encourage greater appreciation
and pride in their use. Positive images showing the value of transport
solutions to present and future development should be included in schoolbooks,
media programmes and documentaries and development reports. Targeted campaigns
should help raise awareness. Photo: Modern,
