Three Messages from Zrich
! 1.- If you ask the residents which transport policy to
adopt, they will not choose the car. They are far moreintelligent than what politicians and opinion leaders believe
! 2.- The future lies not in expansion but in a moreintelligent use of the existing system, using new telecoms
! 3.- Economy and Ecology are not contradictory. Zrich asan example of promotion of public transport, at theexpense of private transport, to achieve a high degree of
economic development
