Abstract
The relentless trend of falling generalised cost of travel has created a world in which travellers mix local and non-local interactions easily, be it face-to-face or mediated by the various forms of telecommunication. The implications of this change of scale have not yet been fully dis-cussed, as the most relevant literature in sociology generally skirts around its practical implica-tion. The chapter will discuss the interaction between social capital creation, travel and transport policy and to outline how transport policy has to overcome its limits to achieve its goals.
