Do you use Public Transports?

Oh... Sounds surprising. Immaterial of the country's size, I thought that all the countries must be having Public transportation. Btb, can i know the name of your country please.

I live in Idaho USA but some towns are so far off the beaten path that not even a city to city bus comes through our area. We have to drive 45 miles away to get a bus. We do have an airport but it is for private use. We also have trains that come through our town but they are not for people to ride so we don't even have a depot. If we don't have transportation of our own then we have to get a friend to take us where we need to go. We are big enought to have a hospital, fire station and a prison but some other smaller towns past us do not have these things. They might have an unattended fire truck and one police if they are lucky.

Oh. Sounds new to me. Till date, i was thinking that all places in US ae well connected with each other and it forms one of the best mode of transportations.

THat is the problem with the images movies and T.V gives to people who don't live in the USA. I know that many people on the outside of the USA think we are all rich but there are many people who are just as poor as any other country. Some even live under bridges. The movies also give a bad impression of what Christians are like in the USA.

Yes you are correct. Using public transportation is one of the cheapest and economical modes and at the time of economic recession, it is absoutely necessary that we resort to some cost saving modes. Have a great day.

Walking is a good exercise but if the destination is more than 4 km strech, then its better we take some mode of transportation.

MARTA= Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority
HRT= Hampton Roads Transit

Yes that's true. You can save time and money. One of my friends who is living in Atlanta uses public transportation and he says that train is the most suited form of transportation there.

Ha ha ha. well said Yugasini. Not only our railways but also the Blue and yellow liner bus services in NewDelhi+ the Delhi metro construction sites. They seem to have taken pledge to reduce Delhi population by 1 or 2%. The suburban railways in Mumbai and Chennai are quite safe and efficient too.

You said it. Yes, the public transportation must be modernised inorder to attract more commuters and moreover during peak hours, the Railway service is a boon for many as you can easily escape from the traffic hurls. Thanks for posting this discussion and have a great day. Happy Mylotting. Cheers:-)

Oh that's sad and i feel sorry for your accident. Yes, in my country, there are special seats being allocated for the physically challenged people in transports and one can use them conveniently.

Thats great to hear. By using public transportation you can save time and money. Yes, for long distance journey Train is always best suited.

Charlies, you seem to be a practical person. Yes, one of the main problems with private vehicle is the Parking problem. In my city, the number of cars and bikes are increasing in 100's everyday and due to it, there is a severe traffic congestion being faced in our locality. Moreover the parking fees add to our woes.

Thats a great piece of concern from your side pablo. I meant the last word in your post 'DRIVE SAFE' I am quite impressed with it.
