I would like to see following ways of transportation available in GW2:
1)Steampunk airships-After 250 years I believe that they could be available for wide use.Made out of wood,steel,and sail cloth. How I would incorporate them in game:You could find airships in any major city that spans through Tyria,which they would connect. In order to travel somewhere you would need to 1.Get to any major city 2.Get to airship anchor bay 3.Buy a ticket 4.Get on board 5.Wait till airship is ready to go After that you would have 2 options:1)SKIP-this option would skip your time that you would spend on travelling and immediatelly transfer you to city of your destination. 2)Get on board and roam around airship-you could get on deck and sightsee world that is beneath you,talk with people that are traveling with you,buy items from merchants that are also traveling,play various games. You would also have option to go to your cabin and get some sleep in order to fast travel when you had enough of roaming around.

2)Steam trains-Another way of transportation that would get you to another town rapidly. In order to travel somewhere you would need to repeat same proceeding as in airship example.

NOTE! It would be great if we could happen to see airships that fly in real time-I hope that someone from Anet could clarify this,if this is possible.
3)Asuran gates-They would be restricted to major towns and outposts/villages.
4)Mounts-
Asura:Golems
Charr:Own legs,Devourers
Sylvari:Golems,Plant like creatures(similar to ents),wolves
Norn:Dolyaks,Forms
Human:Horses,wywerns

Mounts should be very exspensive,require high levels and mount skill-in this way world wouldnt be crowded by mounts,mounts should dissapear when you get in the city and be transferred to care-taker.
5)Boats-Self explanatory
6)Horse carriage-You would pay small fee and get transported around.

7)Steampunk submarines-They could be used as fast travel to underwater caves,towns etc.

NOTE!Those transports would be driveable by NPCs only.
