How many forms of transport have you travelled on? Ever been in an aeroplane? What about a hovercraft? This book gives you a ticket to ride on vehicles as common as a car and as bizarre as a blimp! From horses to highways and ships to shuttles, transport has continually developed to reach destinations with increasing speed, comfort and technology. Hitch a ride on a chariot in Ancient Rome, take a trip on the Titanic (make sure you reserve a space on a lifeboat), cruise in classic cars and submerge into the world of submarines. This is your chance to hover in a "chopper", handle huskies in harsh snow and pedal a penny-farthing. Along the way, stop off and meet the incredible inventors of many marvellous machines and super safety devices.
