London has driverless trains on the light railway which takes you to the exhibition centre for the World Travel Market held every November.
Elizabeth Line
London is building the Elizabeth line.
World Travel Market
Travel industry people will be there, and you will read reports about the World Travel Market on the local London newspapers and online. Of course, at the world travel market, cities worldwide will be promoting their attractions. In one section of the exhibition are the airlines with their newest luxuries in first class and business as well as economy.
Some cities make a feature of what is old, cobblestones and old trams.
Planes
To travel overseas most people will take planes.I can remember the noise of earlier generation of .planes. Yes, a great improvement. Also eyeshades. You can take your own - even make your own, neck pillows. Seats have ear pieces which bend forward to support your head as well as cutting out distracting sights and sounds.
Choosing Seats
Choosing plane seats online in advance is a great advantage. I am waiting for them to assign me the best seat according to availability at the time of booking, or even to suggest seats, such as by the window, on the aisle, near the exit, away fro babies, according to my preferences. One day I hope they will re-assign me a seat if a large person or baby moves alongside. Even a child-free section of plane.
One day, I hope, you will be able to specify that you wish to recline, (sleep through the entire flight) or stay upright (doing work or watching movies). They could then group or reassign seats.
I have various strategies. I used to choose window seats. Why - firstly to get the view during takeoff and landing and even take photos. During the flight you can lean against the wall. At least one side nobody is invading your space.
Now I opt for aisles to get a long vision to beat claustrophobia. I don't look down at the ground outside so much, which overcomes fear of heights. I am able to attract the attention of a passing member of staff to grab a glass of water. I can get out fast to go to the toilet afterwards when the water descends my internal pipe.
You can take the MRT train from under the airport into the city.
New Trains in China Including Hong Kong
Both Hong Kong and Shanghai are known for their train systems to the airport.
European trains
I think in Europe the most advanced system is in Switzerland where the luggage trolleys are designed to go up steps and escalators.
When I was in Switzerland they had live music on one of the stations, a ukelele band.
When you board the train, you will probably see a rack where you can hang your jacket and coat, at least in first class. Economy seems to be first class.
Notice the racks on trains where you can hang your summer jacket or winter coat.
Let's fly from Europe to Asia and see what we can find.
Changi
Singapore's Award Winning Airport
On arrival Singapore's Changi airport, award winning, the current terminals are a delight. Far less queuing than at Heathrow.

If you go to Singapore you will see driverless trains on both its light railway and the regular MRT (mass transit train) system and it plans to be a smart city.

Taxi From Airport
As you drive into the city you can see the cranes building the new terminals. Look at the terminal plans and artists' impressions online. A giant waterfall, would you believe, like the one you can visit at the major attraction of the city, the Gardens By The Bay.You can take the MRT train from under the airport into the city.
