Impatient to travel again? Don’t pack your bags

Spending months at our homes not knowing when we'll go anywhere farther than the grocery store has certainly proved one thing: Nothing gets the travel bug itching like a lockdown. And it's not just a longing for far-away vacations. Many, especially those in densely populated areas, depend on public transportation to get them to work or school, to take them to friends, and to run errands. Once-frequent fliers have been grounded from business travel and holidays — and it's hurting tourism-dependent destinations, too. How we get moving and where we go in the future of travel in the Covid era will look unlike anything in recent memory.
