CASE STUDY
Wonderland is the planet’s biggest
city without a metro system or
skytrain! This city, of 26 million
people, is getting more and more
gridlocked.

Every day over 1,000 new cars add
to the traffic. The city is facing
serious pollution problems. There are
fewer buses than there used to be,
and almost 10 million cars drive in
and around Wonderland every day!

I used to drive to work.
But it took 2 hours!

bad from all the cars.
I don’t know that I’ll do
in the future!
