Bismarck was now loose in the North Atlantic.

Grounded Greatness argues that the future of urban mobility lies not in expensive tunnels or elitist air taxis, but in surface-level public transit.

Drawing on global case studies, the book shows how data, AI, unified payments, and people-first design can dramatically improve access and efficiency. It makes the case for reclaiming streets as civic spaces, promoting mobility justice, and shifting investment toward systems that serve everyone.
