This study of New Zealanders asked 512 commuters (of all modes) if they’d use a “Star Trek-like teleporter to instantly travel from home to work.” Some 79 percent said yes, please. But that leaves roughly one in five who declined the teleport option, and others seemed to lean this way, too, later in the survey. When asked about their ideal commute, only 3 percent of the entire sample said it was zero minutes.
New Zealand transit riders: Part II. As part of her dissertation research, Russell also surveyed whether 1,039 transit riders in Auckland and Wellington would prefer to teleport. She found that only 66 percent said yes, they would beam up to their destination given the option. That’s an awful lot of public transit devotion.
