'transport for two' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'time with this writer coming back' is the wordplay.
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'with' becomes 'and'.
'this writer' becomes 'me' (the person who wrote the clues).
'coming back' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'me' written backwards gives 'em'.
't'+'and'+'em'='TANDEM'

'in' is the link.
