Beautifully illustrated pictures and fun facts will enthrall children ages 5-15, while they learn all about public transportation, its vehicles and the future.

ANNAPOLIS, MARYLAND, USA, September 1, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ -- A new children’s picture book “Public Transportation – From the Tom Thumb Railroad to Hyperloop and Beyond” is being published. Written by transit industry leader and top podcast host, Paul Comfort and illustrated by Sudeep KP, the e-book is available now for pre-order on Amazon with the paperback on sale October 1, 2020 on Amazon.

Inside the wonderful world of Public Transportation - Children discover its history, how public transportation has improved our world and what is coming next! Beautifully illustrated pictures and fun facts will enthrall kids ages 5-15 with stories of how the first steam locomotive "Tom Thumb" lost its big race with a horse - when it broke down and how cable cars in San Francisco move up those steep hills. Each page brings children to a different era and type of public mobility from horse drawn carriages to the first subways, buses, light rail vehicles and mag lev trains. Along the way they can picture themselves riding these fun vehicles and traveling to their destinations. Then children see how the future will be amazing with autonomous vehicles, Hyperloop and Vertical Take Off and Landing Aircraft (VTOL) shuttling them to a new era of public transportation.

Public/private schools and homeschoolers can use this book as a way to introduce children to the important world of public transportation - its history, present and future. Transit industry professionals can now share with their children and grandchildren what they do for a living in public transportation - whether they work as a bus operator, mechanic or administrator.
