no, instead you believe in six lane highways, two HOV lanes, lots of parkways and ten mile gridlock every time there's a basketball gameOriginally Posted by Flying Mullet

Don't tell anybody but I love public transportation. I like taking the bus and I really enjoy taking the subway.
Trains are okay but I don't really consider it public transportation since it goes from city to city, not inter-city. I don't get to see a slice of Toronto by going on the Amtrak to New York, for example.
All the same, I like talking about various topics while on Subways and in public. If I have the right person (ie if my brother isn't around, and somebody else is just as game), I can discuss the most bizarre, un-socially fitting topics.
And what do I care? Freedom of speech means I can do anything shy of denying the holocaust in Canada.
lol @ snobs in thread. Public transport's pretty cool.
Ive been transported in everything - buses, coaches, cars, bikes, ships, boats, trains, planes.
Public transport is alright during normal hours. But if you go round my station at late hours you're liable to getting stabbed. It was rated as the most dangerous station in England, apparently.
I cant believe some of you guys have never been on a bus before...
"They said this day would never come. They said our sights were set too high. They said this country was too divided, too disillusioned to ever come around a common purpose. But on this January night, at this defining moment in history, you have done what the cynics said we couldn't do." - Barack Obama.

I've taken the train a few times, but no buses for me. I'm gonna have to learn, though.
I like public transport. It's a little expensive in London, but the network's extensive and reliable. I don't think I'll ever buy a car unless I move out of town.

Sometimes I wonder what my life would be like if I were as great as Paulo Wanchope.
Public transport is the bread and butter of my life. I take the train and tube everyday. Although the restrictive nature of Britain means I kind of have to with the congestion charge pissing everyone off in London. When will they notice it hasn't changed anything.
I like buses as opposed to trains. Subway train stations are usually unbearably hot and there's all these people crammed in trying to cop a feel. They even have the nerve to look me directly in the eye and breathe in my general direction! :freak:
After having to get a bus every single morning to school for 5 years at 7 in a morning I really don't like getting buses anymore. I hate buses, I hate how they either don't turn up or just choose to skip, I hate how boring and crowded they are and how you never get a seat. I hate how the bus to my part of town only comes twice an hour, so if I just miss one, half an hour wait.
I don't like trains either, they're so boring. On the train to Manchester, after 5 minutes I'm going "ARE WE NOT THEREEE YETTT" and it only takes 40 minutes to get there.
I hate public transport, I wish we could just teleport.
I spend half my life on public transport, it seems. As I don't drive and live a fair way from my friends, I have to depend on it. Part of the problem with living out in the country and not being able to drive. Much prefer trains to buses as they are more comfortable and tend to be much more reliable.

Public transportation in the States is awful in most cities and not available outside of the big ones.
Unlike you crazy Europeans and Asians, we decided to ditch our brilliantly-evolving railroads for the automobile. Which is why we're slaves to the gas pump now. ^__^

I like Kung-Fu.
I really like trains, particularly when riding with friends but usually its just me watching the world pass by.
Im not really a fan of buses though and i dont consider Taxis as public transport.
Kefka's coming, look intimidating!
Have a nice day!!
I don't have a drivers licence, so I have to take public transport quite often. Fortunately for me I have nothing against it at all, and I tend to like whatever kind of public transport.. be it train, bus or plane.
Your location says "Auckland", so it makes sense that you're on the receiving-end of the country's worst public transport.The public transport down here in New Zealand is really. Buses are often really late, or really early, or sometimes never even show up at all. And they break down. So every time we've had to take the bus I've been real anxious the whole time cause you never know what's going to happen.
If you were in a proper NZ city, like mine, you'd be enjoying busses that come every ten minutes, with a ticket that costs a couple of dollars and has a two-hour transfer on it. For the equivalent of loose change, you can get yourself anywhere in the city and back again reliably and comfortably. Not in Auckland though, 'cause it's a hole
