Flashback to 2005: Where Is the Honda Dog Car?
Back in 2005, Honda featured a minivan that was made for you and your best friends — furry and non-furry alike. With passenger seating for up to six people, you'd think there would be plenty of room for Fido to ride along without any problems. But Honda thought that having an abundance of room wasn't enough.
Obama Plans Railroad Expansion — Are You On Board?
The latest stimulus bill includes $8 billion for America's railroad system, and President Obama has plans to obtain more tax money each year with the hopes of giving the country's railway a racy makeover. Obama will ask Congress for $1 billion more each year for the next five years. Conversely, President Bush set aside only $1.5 billion for high-speed rail through 2013.
Cool Idea: A Converted Train Car
I never thought I'd want to live in an old boxcar, until I saw this cheerful cafe built into a converted train on Treehugger. Located in Deptford, London, the pop-up shop is selling sustainably farmed coffee while the nearby train station, originally built in 1836, is being renovated.
I'm surprised how sunny and spacious the space is.
Cool Idea: Ikea Trains
If you happen to be in Kobe, Japan, make sure to ride the rails, since through May 6th, the train is decked out in Ikea seating and textiles. The Kobe Portliner Monorail has been decorated in Ikea gear to celebrate the launch of an Ikea store at Port Island.
I know that I get tired of the bland interiors of my train.
Pampered Pals: Sleepypod Mini For the Little Kitty
We talk so much about crates and carriers, and how handy they are when it comes to travel, but the design of this carrier seems to be totally unique . . .
Road Trip in a . . . ?
Because I clearly can't say it enough, riding in a car with unsecured pets is dangerous for both of you! I've shared my love for North's carseat, but this clip takes it one step further, explaining some of the risks of tackling the open road with free-roaming pups. I'd like to add that airbags can severely injure dogs riding shotgun, so please, please, please think twice before allowing a pup to ride in the front seat (or, worse yet, on your lap).Out and About: Washington's Ferries
Taking a trip on a bus or streetcar in Seattle with your pooch is super easy as lap dogs ride free and large, leashed pups are welcome at your feet for a fee! Did you know that Washington State's ferry system is the largest in the nation? With boats traveling to several outlying islands (my favorites are the San Juans), this is a great adventure to take with your pets.
Pets on Public Transportation?
Happy Birthday! New York City's first official subway system opened on October 27, 1904. Small dogs can cruise the Big Apple inside carriers on the subways, trains, and buses, while on the San Francisco MUNI buses and railways, dogs of any size are welcome as long as they are well-behaved, muzzled, and it's not during a major commute time.

The How-To Lounge: Public Transportation Etiquette
Since everyone is now contributing a little bit more to living a green lifestyle, more and more people are using public transportation. Of course we all love the comfort of our own car, but let's be honest, mass transit isn't all that bad if every passenger practices proper public transportation etiquette.
