Abstract
Recent reviews have suggested a vibrancy and diversity in transport geography. But these articles were the first progress reports on transport geography since 1988, indicating how the field has been relatively marginal to broader disciplinary debates. Meanwhile, a lively literature on mobilities has developed. In these contexts and as a supplement to the recent progress reports, a review of otherwise largely distinct fields reminds us how transport as a critical component of inquiry in geography is frequently taken for granted. We invite a re-engagement with transport and transport geography that opens fresh tracks for human geography.
