      Can’t do this one.

      For long-distance travel, sleeper cars on trains are even better – you can’t close the curtains and go to sleep if you’re driving across the country.

      For short-distance travel, bikes and scooters!

        Great point! Sleeper car rail in Canada is so terrible I tend to forget it exists.
