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
