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).

Čistý svět
It's an ordinary morning in 2040. The sun is shining through the window of my apartment and the city is slowly coming to life behind it. Outside, there is a quiet electric tram that connects neighborhoods without the need for cars. Transport has changed significantly over the last 20 years – combustion engines are a thing of the past, streets are quieter and cleaner. I read a little news at breakfast. Most people today work from home for at least part of the week, which has helped reduce stress and congestion. But I am looking forward to the office – work is different than before, more collaborative and less routine. On the way, I stop at a small bakery where the clerk serves me fresh bread wrapped in reusable packaging. Waste is no longer carried here – most shops have switched to a circular economy where materials are put back into circulation. In the evening I walk through the park, which used to be a parking lot. Cities have adapted to climate change, more trees have been planted, and every piece of free space serves people. Life in 2050 is not perfect, but in many ways it is better – slower, more sustainable and focused on quality instead of quantity.

Красивото Европейско бъдеще.
I imagine the future as a green nature.Everything around us to be in green huge trees.To have a lot of green meadows full of flowers.To have a lot animals in the forests and mountains and no endangered species.Do not exterminate the animals and destroy nature.Cottages to accept tourists , who enjoy the landscapes and do not pollute around.Eco paths ,which lead to beautiful places.Almost all people to sport in the forests ,on the eco paths.I imagine there are many roads that can be nicely asphalted, so that you can quickly and conveniently reach the beautiful places .Balkan ,sea , sights, monuments in different places.All buildings to be renovated,to look completely different from today.To be able to travel in Europe in a very affordable way without borders, checks and barriers.Everyone can afford to visit all places in the country and Europe without problems.The policy of each country to coincide with the policy of all European countries, so that there can be understanding and everything can be right.Let there be no wars that make people fear and worry about their future.I imagine wages to be much better, so that people can afford all these things and not worry that they will not be able to have everything they want.And finally to summarize, I want a single Europe accessible to all and beauty corresponding to our continent.

Lepší pracovní místa pro maminky
Better choice of jobs for mothers with children. Even mothers after motherhood will be able to get a job easily. There will be plenty of jobs tailored just for these moms. They will be able to have flexible working hours. Their work will be well valued financially so that they can take good care of their offspring. There will be no discrimination against women. Maternity women will be able to return to work easily. There will be a welcoming place for all families who will need to find a job.

Nejasná budoucnost, která může být pozitivní, ale museli by ji vzít lidé do vlastních rukou a použít rozum
The future of Europe is very unclear to me. I imagine it could be very positive, but it would mean that people would take their minds into their hands and start using them. They will overthrow the current leadership and start to think logically and start to care more at the national level. It is impossible for anyone to constantly dictate nonsensical rules to us. Nowadays, we have a plethora of new fantastic technologies that would be useful to use and develop. We need to fight sustainability, teach people to save energy, better sort waste, and produce less. It is necessary to ensure the health of people - to expand education in the care of their own health, to involve modern technology, but still to preserve the privacy of people as such and to provide them with a dignified life, which is decided by themselves, not by the government or other state institutions. The tax burden needs to be reduced and the state needs to be slimmed down. It is also necessary to fight migration, deport inadaptable individuals and ensure order, cooperate on peaceful solutions. In conclusion, I don't trust people anymore, so it's all just an illusion and we are more likely to have a period of decline and problems.
