*Common, convenient space travel* implies/requires "cheap, abundant
energy". Which is why, among other things, we're still mostly stuck at
the bottom of our gravity well, and ship's boats make great WMDs.
A low-energy TU is one where most people don't do much Travelling.
Conversely, a high-energy, high-traffic one is one where the genie is
already well and truly out of the bottle.
