Most useless ship I've ever seen

[Sionnach Glic]

I can imagine maybe there being some sort of mass-use transporters. Like, you get in line, tell the operator where you want to go, and get sent there. But I don't imagine there being ownership of transporters.

That seems to be the way the novels have handled it. Public transporter hubs which will beam you wherever you want, but no personal site-to-site transporter type things

Mass transit of the 24th century

And I bet the in-flight entertainment still sucks.

On this trip we wil be playing one hour of Mr Data's finest poetry, followed by 2 hours of the classics of Vulcan opera. If you haven't killed yourself yet, we will follow this with the Doctor's dissertation on the intricacies of Bolian endocrine medicine...

That Vulcan Opera anyway similar to Vogon Poetry?

You would see a mass suicide sceen, ala Airplane

Transports would be like the jumbo jets, and some people may be able to get their hands on things like the Raven, which would be like a privately owned plane.

That hasn't stopped John Travolta from being certified on the 747 jumbo jet.

I don't see why not, if civillian crews can get ahold of actual starships, like an Oberth class

[Captain Seafort]

While there seem to be some non-Starfleet starships, that doesn't necessarilly mean that they're civilian, given that the Fed government appears to have complete control of all forms of transport. Note the complete lack of any exodus in any of the emergencies we've seen, or any mention of Federation non-government-owned forms of transport.

Ladies and gentlemen, our in-flight movies this evening will be Pluto Nash, followed by Barb Wire and Exorcist: The Beginning.

[Mark]

However, if you'd prefer, our flight attendents will be coming around with cyanide capsules, for only $100 each, for your relief.
