Abstract
This chapter focuses on how highly mobile people use travel time and spaces of high mobility. These individuals spend a great deal of time travelling in places that are often far away and sometimes unfamiliar. To what extent do they become attached to and identify with these spaces of high mobility? How do they use their travel time? What meaning do these spaces and does travel time have for them?
