Note from asker:
| لا أعتقد ذلك. In the UK, people tend to joke about getting stuck behind cars towing caravans because traditionally they're thought of as being quite slow. |
| هنا يأتي معناها المركبة التي يمكن النوم والسفر فيها. |
| مشكورة جهودكم |

المسافرين / وسائل النقل
Since you're thinking of using a metaphor, I would opt for something like:
أسرع من المسافرين
Or
أسرع من وسائل النقل
since it is implied that rumours travel faster than people.
Good luck.
أسرع من المسافرين
Or
أسرع من وسائل النقل
