The book explores the paradox of increasing travel distances despite unchanged average daily travel times, suggesting that people prefer longer journeys to access more desirable destinations. It highlights the environmental impact of this trend, particularly its contribution to climate change through transportation. The author critiques current transport policies for neglecting the stability of travel time, arguing that this oversight results in misguided decisions and unintended consequences. The discussion emphasizes the need for a reevaluation of transport frameworks to address these challenges.
