An impatient chronicle of everyday mobility

Why do the mayors who defend the railway lines never take the train? Is it true that you can no longer park in city centers? Will the Grand Paris Express certainly relieve transport congestion in the Paris region? Will the “bike plan” be effective? Why do dead leaves prevent trains from moving forward? How to explain the failure of Autolib'? Who are the transport fraudsters? What do the road signs say about our society? In this impatient Chronicle of daily mobility, Olivier Razemon, journalist specializing in transport, has selected and updated 52 posts from his blog, "Interconnection is no longer assured", which he has hosted since 2012 on the site du Monde.According to his curiosity or current events and without claiming to be exhaustive, the author shares his observations on the different modes of transport and their uses, but also on the development and organization of the urban space. This collection thus participates in the deconstruction of received ideas and places the issue of mobility in its context, while the instant media treatment is often content to celebrate major infrastructures or to hope for a redeeming technology. The book is illustrated with photographs by the author. Olivier Razemon brings his quirky, or amused, look of a tireless traveler on the great evils and minor hassles of transport.
