Waking up to dream ride's reality check

Travel, I have found, is not everyone's cup of tea.

For every person who dreams of the open road, there is someone who dreams that scientists will finally get their act together and invent those teleportation machines one sees used in Star Trek.

These people are usually the ones visibly seething on public buses, even on short journeys, when merely nudging them as you pass through the doors (where they insist on standing) can result in a tirade of insults and accusations about your inconsiderate nature.
