What was the transportation in 1914-1928?

Answer 1

If you are asking about the US, it was an era of continuing social change. Throughout the 1910s and 1920s, trains were still the main way that businesspeople, families, and professional athletes traveled. Some train stations were very ornate, and the trains had sleeping cars for long trips. Trolleys and streetcars were also popular for city travel, and a few cities even had a subway system.

Automobiles were gradually gaining in popularity, thanks in large part to Henry Ford's affordable and reliable Model T: they only came in one color (black) but the public loved them, and in the 1910s, most people who owned a car owned a Model T. With more people owning a car, the need for better highways increased, and more cities began to plan for paved roads (these cars still didn't go very fast by our standards, but dirt roads were not comfortable to ride on, and some of the first paved roads were not very durable). By the early 1920s, there were an estimated ten million cars on the road, and some cities (Detroit was first) now had traffic lights with a red (stop), a green (go) and a new signal-- yellow (caution).

The other new thing, in addition to the growing popularity of cars (by the 1920s, there were more brands, many styles, and a number of interesting features) was the growing interest in air travel. There still was no commercial air travel yet, but the late 1920s saw Charles Lindbergh's amazing transatlantic flight in 1927, and several women (including Amelia Earhart) seemed poised to do the same. The idea that one day, people would be able to fly from one place to another no longer seemed as much of a fantasy as it had even a decade earlier.
