I have some problems with the opening sentence... I do not agree that it is a branch of urban geography, and I would like to alter the sentence stating that transportation geography is based on vehicular movements...

any thoughts?

Yes, transportation geograpghy is base on vehicular movements but it is closely associated with urban geography because it examines where we live, how we get around, the structure of cities and the patterns of cities on the landscape. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Smconley (talk • contribs) 01:05, 6 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Okay fine, I agree that it is "vehicularly based" I just feel that it is a poorly constructed preview of the topic. no offense. — Preceding unsigned comment added by [[User:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]] ([[User talk:{{{1}}}#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/{{{1}}}|contribs]])

Transportation geography takes into account that, even for vehicular travel, people have to walk to a car or a bus, so I don't think it should be restricted to vehicular travel. It's more about the networks and modes that people use, and walking is one possible mode of travel. Leehach (talk) 02:25, 6 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Subtopics, Stub Status
