I get buses and trains absolutely everywhere.

Public transport on the coast is rather bollocks but in the city it's like, internationally recognised or some tit.

Subway, trains, buses, and taxis are the way to go specifically subway cuz you avoid alot of tit you don't have to deal with while walking or driving except crazy Jamaican women.
I'm getting more into driving though since I don't have much of a choice with Cali's lame ass public transportation system.
Your choices?
A. A bus consisted of speedfreaks fornicating
B. A cab driven by a redneck Keyser Soze
or
C. A trolly with annoyingly whimsical tourists.
Your choice.
The local bus lines here are terrible, full of nothing but hoodrat ghetto people who want to beg you for money.
And the drivers are terrible.
I like Kung-Fu.
I hate public transportation around here.
Living in London has it's perks compared to the rest of the UK, we regularly have transportation redundancy such as 3 buses what serve pretty much the same route and same destinations, often with just a 15 minute divergence in their paths. For example the route 57 and 131 to Kingston only seperate when the 131 goes down to New Malden before Kingston whilst the 57 is quicker because it goes straight on to Kingston. We also have an extensive route of night buses what serve London. They can be slow but they're not so bad, especially since it means I can go to my favourite clubs north of the river and still get home by about 5am even with having left the club at around 3am. That's before I consider the trams, rail and underground networks. I have to get the underground pretty extensively to go work, gym, parents, out just about anywhere. I'm about to go get it now.
I'm really considering leaving London though as the city is far too expensive. My public transportation costs alone each month come to about £140 and that's without even leaving London to go anywhere else, which would probably consist of me paying for coaches or trains. Trains are vastly superior to coaches but also ridiculously over-priced too. When I went Glasgow recently the coach cost around £60 return. The same journey by train was almost £200 and only took 3 hours less time to get there so I just decided to book an over-night coach ride and got in to Glasgow by about 7am.
I usually take the bus to get to a different area, but if i were to go downtown thats a different story i take the train.
Now I want to go on a train ride with Bubba.
I take the bus to and from work everyday because it's all we have. They aren't particularly interesting and their schedule generally sucks outside of working hours, but I get to sit on my ass and read while a crazy mother smurfer does the driving for me and that's cool with me.
You don't take the bus within 50 miles of Detroit because they're infested with "rats". I wish public trans was a viable option here though, I'd drop diving a car in a heartbeat. No more worrying about gas, repairs, insurance, registration....so on and so forth. Im so over owning a car.
