| Tiivistelmä: | In this article, aspects of travelling (here as: tr-g.) times are explored. It is argued that there is something about contemporary times in which tr-g. assumes a greater significance, even when more communication devices are readily available. It is also shown that there are multiple kinds of time involved in the process of travel and not just the measured clock-time to be minimized when tr-g. from A to B. It is further shown that the problem for travellers and, indeed, for non-travellers is coordinating multiple and inconsistent times through complex communications and scheduling tools. Thus travel time involves sets of activities requiring examination since the time is not always wasted, dead or empty. These points are demonstrated with regard to walking, train travel and even car journeys. |
