Yeah.


We don't have a car. For a reason. Because all you do is pollute the environment, cause traffic jams and get annoyed. They cost a lot of money. I have none of that because I just take the bus. A full bus pollutes less and costs less than all of the people in it using cars. + The road is more empty.

I can get everywhere with public transport.

... are we talking about the same underground? :roll:

i usually catch the bus, given that im in college (or rather was, term ended yesterday) everyday (despite having lessons only on three, i miss her already :P ).

I have to disagree. It has to be the worst underground I have ever experienced. Paris earning a second place. And Paris is awful, but really, there is a huge gap between both.

Yay for the Dutch underground!

I take the metro link to places seldomly, and I take the Redbird Express (bus) to Cardinals Games. I checked no, because:

A) I hardly ever use Metrolink anymore.
B) Cardinals games are losing my interest plus tickets are expensive.

Yep. I get the bus home 3 times a week (I'm at school late the other two days), and sometimes in the mornings.

The public transport system here in Melbourne is awesome. The trains are pretty regular, and I love our ticketing system <3

The only public transportation here is the city bus and I'm not allowed to ride it so no public transportation for me :P

Why would that be, Fzun?

I walk or cycle pretty much everywhere, though I don't have a lock for my bike, so Im in a little pickle there.

When I start Uni, Im going to need to take the train. haha.

I took the TTC (Toronto Transit) all throughout high school and jr high, so that's 6 years straight :)

I moved near to campus for University though, and have biked/walked pretty much everywhere, but I still transit weekly either streetcar, subway or bus.

In the fall I will be living a little farther frm school, so I estimate I will be taking the subway 3 times a week (depending how many days I have class)

I use it whenever I want to go somewhere x) I take the bus home or to Dundee to go shopping, and I used to take the train to see my boyfriend but that's no longer necessary =)

I can't take driving lessons at the moment due to my sore neck, and even if I could I can't afford them. And even if I could I can't afford a car, so um yeah - go public transportation! :D

I have to, and frankly it's one of the poorest planned systems (and it became even worse earlier this month.) I feel I have to complain about missing a bus or a train at least once a week (and they don't do a thing about it.)

Los Angeles public transportation is scary. I don't use it all that often (as it's also terribly inconvenient), but I do take the Metro sometimes when I'm going somewhere with friends from school, or on an orchestra trip downtown.

"No"

I have used it before, like once or twice. Where I currently live, the buses don't travel very far.

Really the only mass transit I use are carpools to get to school. No buses, etc. for me :( - they are great to conserve fossil fuels though!
