A real trans-European transport network (Un vrai réseau transeuropéen de transport)

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

In 2040, the temperature of our planet continues to rise. Thanks to the environmental policies of the European Union, our transport system has evolved and many developments have taken place, including the development of electric and low-energy vehicles.
In a society where the individual needs to travel, to travel, to work or simply to see family members, the trans-European transport network needs to evolve.
Thanks to the introduction of the Interrail pass, many young people can break down the European Union to a lesser extent. This must extend to the whole population. Today, air transport is cheaper than rail and much more polluting in the European Union, but it is possible to travel by train between countries. Many people do not make this choice because the train offers longer journeys with exorbitant fares. My proposal focuses on this issue. In 2040, the trans-European transport network will offer many high-speed lines linking the largest cities in Europe. These high-speed lines on the TGV modele in France will offer a European low cost package (such as that for regional trains in Germany with the national pass at EUR 9). In order to develop mobility geared to public transport such as rail, the 2040 European trains will offer real services (comfortable chair, couchette, workspace, rest space, quiet space, buvette).

I was woken up by a personal alarm clock with fresh coffee and baked bread. After a sonic bath, I wore nano-fiber clothes that measured my vital signs for an electronic doctor. A flying taxi and today's digital newspaper were waiting for me at the entrance. In the office, the robot secretary sorted the mail. She immediately started dictating letters and sending them to certain addresses that I chose.

La simplicité et le respect en 2040
In 2040, life is peaceful in Europe, everyone smiles, there is no aggression in any country. If there are problems between people, there will be people who will be responsible for resolving problems amicably, and everything will be simple. There will be freedom of expression, respect for everyone's ideas.

Natuur
I wish by then there would be more nature. That it is forbidden to lay front gardens in stones, that people who have a house and garden should provide more greenery. That a forest, a park is within walking or cycling distance. That the car is more banded from the cities, but can still get a place on the outskirts of the city. That there are so free buses or cheap public transport that runs to the city. So that people also seek more connection with nature, go for a walk and only have the benefits of nature.

Une France aux français
Laws have changed and hardened. Not all people born in France are automatically French. They take the nationality of their great-grandparents, and also all the descendants, which reduces the population of foreigners and let the French live in their country quietly and without fear, or to be raped, robbed or assaulted. Life would be more peaceful, the streets would become clean again, the people polite. All acts of incivility are punished, such as coughing without putting your hand, or throwing waste on the floor, buying in bulk or bringing back containers, which would reduce waste.
