They're everywhere: chained to bridges, parked by the hundreds outside Centraal Station, rolling steadily by (often with one or two small passengers aboard) as you sit in outdoor cafes.
Each first-class seat has two screens, one large and one small; passengers can see the map of the flight on the small screen while watching a movie on the big one.
Cars rumble as they discharge their small passengers; cameras zip and whirr; men and women stoop to kiss stubby infants goodbye, and remain there kneeling on the vacated gravel, as if genuflecting at the altar of some cruel god of departure.
But manufacturers could do a few things to boost sales: Even if the car companies make coupes flashier, roomier, safer for small passengers and more practical, I doubt they'll ever capture the magic of old-time coupes.
Once was when I was with two friends boarding a plane that was so small passengers were asked submit their weight to the flight attendant before boarding.
Although the risk is small, passengers might be infected by a contagious patient during the flight [ 3- 6], as well as during public transport [ 7].
