Point express or carrier pigeon

[–] countrypunk 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

A carrier pigeon seems outdated and unreliable. There are important things such as medication that would need to be reliably delivered to people.

Could you elaborate on what a point express is? A quick Google search didn't get me any helpful english-language answers.

from what i can gather, a point express is an express train that goes from one station to another without stopping

Typo of pony express my bad!

As for carrier pigeon I would say it's not that outdated if you use it for letters. My understanding is that carrier pidgeon tend to be highly accurate with delivery.
