Each working day 500 million people across the planet experience
the miracle and misery of commuting. Whether undertaken by car,
bus, train or bicycle, the practice shapes our days and creates a
time and a space for a surprisingly diverse range of activities. In
RUSH HOUR, Iain Gately traces the past, present and future of
commuting, from the age of Dickens to the potential of the
driverless car. He examines the contrasting experiences of
commuters in Britain and elsewhere in the world: from the
crush-loaded salarymen of the Tokyo metro to the road-rage
afflicted middle managers of America. Notwithstanding its
occasional traumas, commuting emerges as a positive aspect of
modern life. It has dictated the growth of cities; been proving
ground for new technologies; and given countless people freedom of
movement and the opportunity to improve their lives.
