✈️ 🚂 🚗 Planes, Trains and Automobiles (and a cable car!) 🚡
Old cars taken for one last drive and dumped in forests. Cable cars left in silent stations. Soviet-era planes, once gate guardians to old air bases, now just an out-of-place curiosity. Huge rusting steam trains languishing in old collapsing depots.

"China’s railways have in recent days been ferrying about 20mn passengers a day, with half a billion train trips expected over the 40-day lunar new year period.
It is part of what demographers refer to as the world’s largest annual human migration, when workers in China’s coastal cities return to their families to celebrate the most important holiday of the year.
Increasingly, this migration is happening faster than ever.
Nearly three-quarters of passengers will travel at speeds of greater than 200kph, streaking across the country in the white and silver high-speed trains that have become a defining symbol of China’s industrial might.
In December, China reached 50,000km of high-speed rail, enough track to circle the globe, compared with 8,500km in the whole of the EU as of 2023. Just over two decades after it was launched, the network now links 97 per cent of cities with populations of more than half a million."
