Question 2

transport technologies?

Answer 2

Passenger jets
connect people by bringing the prices down and making people more likely to go on a plane rather than travel by boat or car (or, usually, just not go at all).

The price of plane tickets when compared to other prices has fallen by two-thirds since the 1970s, so the number of passengers has tripled.
And for an isolated country like Australia, this is an important way of connecting

Trains
Living in a city like Sydney where the trains are inconsistent (or country NSW where the trains can be non-existent) doesn’t give you a good sense of how fast they can be and how they can connect people.
If you’re in other parts of the world (e.g. Asia or Europe), high speed rail is much more common.
For example, if you want to drive from London to Paris, it takes about 6 hours. By train (under the water…), it’s around 2 hours.
