Transportation in Dinotopia can be slow, but it can also be exhilarating. Dinosaurs often oblige travelers by offering to carry them in exchange for a song. in this image, children are transported to school by way of a gentle giant, and a young student prepares to climb the ladder to take his seat in one of the Apatosaurus' two carriages. meanwhile, officials use red-tasseled poles to stop oncoming traffic.
