(6) Are you happy with transport services in your country? — Довольны ли вы транспортными услугами в вашей стране?

(1) If life is a highway, what kind of transport are you using? — Если жизнь — это шоссе, то каким видом транспорта вы пользуетесь?
It’s a philosophical question. I think that the older we become, the faster our life goes. So I would compare my transport with a high speed train now.
(2) What do you think is the most dangerous form of transportation and why? — Как вы думаете, какой вид транспорта самый опасный и почему?
It’s definitely a motorcycle. Two wheels are less reliable than four. Motorcycles usually go much faster and drivers are not protected well.
(3) Which transportation do you prefer – air, sea or road? — Какой транспорт вы предпочитаете – воздушный, морской или автомобильный?
If I need to go some far away, I prefer an airplane of course. As for some close destinations, I like going by car.
(4) Is public transport expensive in your country? — Дорогой ли общественный транспорт в вашей стране?
I can’t say that it’s expensive in Russia. I like public transport, especially trains. It’s so convenient.
(5) What form of transport is the worst for the environment? — Какой вид транспорта наносит вред окружающей среде?
I think it’s cars. This is the most popular form of transport and there are so many cars in the world. They pollute the air a lot.
(6) What kind of transport would you like someone to invent? — Какой вид транспорта вы бы хотели, чтобы кто-нибудь изобрел?
I would like someone to invent a flying car like in movies. It would make life much easier, because we would get rid of traffic jams!
(7) How has international transportation changed in the past few decades? — Как изменились международные перевозки за последние несколько десятилетий?
It has changed dramatically. Technologies became better. There are a lot of online services nowadays that make it more convenient. Transportation became more comfortable. That’s for sure!
(8) What are the transportation needs of your country? — Каковы транспортные потребности вашей страны?
Now we need more airplanes produced in our country. Because of sanctions, there might be a lack of airplanes in the future. Boing doesn’t supply airplanes to Russia anymore.
(9) Do you think we are spoiled for choice with all the different transportation options? — Как вы думаете, мы избалованы выбором со всеми различными вариантами транспорта?
No, I don’t think so. I think it’s good when people have a chance to choose from different variants. Especially when it comes to transportation.
(10) What do you think will be the next big breakthrough in transportation? — Как вы думаете, что станет следующим большим прорывом в области транспорта?
It’s a good question. I think that high speed trains will be developing more and more across the globe. Elon Musk works actively on his Hyperloop project. This can act as a complete revolution in the transportation industry.
