Summary: “What If You Could Choose Between the Fastest Route and the Most Beautiful?”

“What If You Could Choose Between the Fastest Route and the Most Beautiful” is an article by Lex Berko. It discusses people’s preferences using research and experiments to figure out which route they’d rather take.
