Just curious about what type of transport you have in your country,over here we mainly have buses and trains....but they are VERY unreliable,if you want to get somewhere on time,forget about it!!

 

Plus it's very expensive these days...

Yeah i live in the UK and buses are not very reliable.

Yet the prices are 4ever rising!

Trains are more reliable than buses, but they do get cancelled more often, and even if you get to the platform on time there is always that chance that your train wont turn up.

And since its raining most of the time over here, it pretty likely.

 

Anyway its probably better in New Zealand than it is over here...

 

Tip: If where u want to go is close to u, its better to walk as all u have to rely on is urself. Or if u have a car, just drive.

Well I know what you mean,but I dont have a car so have to rely on public transport.

 

It cant be any worse over there surely :lol:

We have all sorts here, like buses, trains, darts (like trains but don't travel as far) oh and the luas, which is like a train which travels on roads...not with cars or anything, but there's a section for the tracks :)

 

I have to travel to college and such on buses....oh god how I hate them! I always seem to end up near the smelly people too! :sick2:

Yeah...as well public transport is also very unreliable in Dublin...especially the buses. In Germany the bus timetable says the bus will come at 06.13 and it ALWAYS comes at exactly that time! Its crazy...here it comes half an hour AFTER what it says on the timetable. :rolleyes:

Hehe I'm lucky so, our buses are pretty frequent :)

We got buses, taxis, trains and a there's a heap of trams in Melbourne.

Yeah that happens here too!!! :lol: The Timetables are even hooked up to a GPS,and it still does not work properly!!!

in france: buses, trains, tramways...but not so comfortable, fast, as cars

Well...I have to seperate things...in my COUNTRY we have busses,trains,taxis,plains,underground (what is it called in general?)....

 

in our AREA we only have busses and taxis....and in some villages train station..but not in my village:lol:

and the times when they leave or arrive suck...

there are only 2 busses at one day who go from my village to the town I go to school in....that sucks!

 

So...if you are not allowed to drive a car here..or if you're not able to you have a problem...

in ankara i usually use metro-subway-underground whatever you say it... its quite fast and reliable.. and sometimes i use buses but they may be slow if the traffic is massive..

We have buses, but they are really expensive and I, personally, can't afford a trip with it. There are also trains but where I live there isn't any direct line to the capital city, which means that I'd have to travel for 5 hours of more if i wanted to go there (and with car it takes you 1 hour).

We don't have subways or metros, taxis in my town aren't that common, but in bigger cities they are.

So I have to travell on foot or by car.

So judging from your responses,public transport is bad everywhere in the world,not just over here...:thinking:

wat he said:lol: , i live in the UK, 2:dozey:

the public transport ain't that bad, we have a good and mostly strict connection to most parts of my country with trains, in the cities we have almost too many busses and trams so that's good but i hate that, in a bus u're waaay to close to the other ppl and when its hot like today, the bus STINKS ... all the sweat .. yucki.. thank god i have my bike.

trams eh Nic?... damn thing almost ran me over once :cry:

Oh no :o,what happened Will??

the damn things are evil! :P they come when u least expect them... i was probably busy with something when suddenly im pulled by someone before it ran over me...

Oh I understand!! Very dangerous though...

So judging from your responses' date='public transport is bad everywhere in the world,not just over here...:thinking:[/quote']

 

haha judging from this thread, yes. australia is always complaining about unreliable trains and stuff. it's like a 4 minute delay and people chuck a huge frenzy over it. :dozey:

Of course they do, 4 mins can make a difference between losing ur job or keeping it. That was someone else's case, but in my case, turning up late at school would mean that they wouldn't pay me for that week!

 

Yeah they pay you for goin to sixth form in the UK if u were wondering.

unless you dont have a car and no friends ...here you call a taxi which is long distances away and hyper expensive. Bus terminals are rare and you must actully travel far to GET to them.

 

 

Here it is car or nothing. Big cars too, gaz guzzling ones. :stunned:

 

 

Both bus and taxi are too expensive. But reliable if you have the money..its usually only a few minutes late.

I haven't travelled in one of those for much time now.

nobody down south in the US uses public transport. and i mean NOBODY, we all drive in our cars and stuff. pretty much independent transportation, but in a lot of other metropolitan areas like New York and San Francisco, they have pretty good public transport, buses, trolleys. Nothing can beat a NY subway, IMO :)

Yeah, big cities (not Houston though) use taxis a bunch and subways.

 

 

Not in Texas, not at all.

 

In Mexico, when I have gone...taxis (and buses, but less) were all over the place. Mostly people just stroll ... or "carpool"

 

There, people rely on it...but it's not reliable

Here we also have teleportation devices,it is extremely fast!!!
