When traveling to you use public transport?

It's a shame that there's no such service available for you. It can be quite convenient for a lot of people and it also is a lot better for the environment than simply letting everybody use their cars, also it'll take a lot of stress of the roads if those are present where you live, by having a lot less cars on the road.

When being able to get called up at any moment public transport indeed isn't that much of an option anymore unless it'd be a subway connection which pretty much goes every 3 minutes or sooner on average. The second point indeed is something which is something here and in a lot of other countries more should be invested in. We have a couple of lines here which are going super and you can always sit, drives about every 10 minutes or more often, etcetera. But some are going not frequent enough and don't have the required capacity. But it is something which is being worked on here though, not by increasing capacity though but by introducing new ways mainly. Independence indeed true, something which you don't have with public transport. You also can't really stop by somewhere on the way home or so when you're sitting in a bus rather than like you can with a car.

so in that case trasport is better :D

A motorcycle unfortunately doesn't really fit the students budget here :P, there are exceptions but they are pretty rare, hehe. Asides from that obtaining the license is already quite hard on itself. Sort of a shame, since it would be quite cool. Downside though would be the winters and such which here are quite cold and rainy, making lots of distance would probably be a pain in that.

Never used the public transport in the UK, although I have heard how in London it all is quite ok even if it tends to be a bit complicated in the subways. Outside of London though from friends who went to England on holidays they came back with the stories on how they had to wait 3 hours at certain bus stops because the bus would only come once every 4~6 hours or so. National efforts are a nice start, but for Europe I'd even say an international effort would be a great thing. Currently there are a couple of international line like in example Thalys from Amsterdam to Paris and there's an international line from Utrecht to Berlin going from my country, but there definitely should be more. The international lines throughout Europe are even more simple for that matter than the average subway in a city is, just having a couple of destinations in each country directly and all of the sudden you totally have to rely on finding your own way. Let stand the fact that international tickets have to be ordered up front or bought at certain locations. But in the Netherlands we indeed are quite pro public transport, the transport companies and the government are trying to make it as attractive as possible to use. We have hundreds of bus lines in total even if we're just a minor country. For every person there's pretty much 1 or more bus stops within a 2km radius, in the cities that goes down to pretty much a bus stop or any other form of stop for public transport about every 100m or so.

The public transport in the major cities of the UK tends to be pretty good but everywhere else it is very unreliable.

Hope your words come true some day ,and sorry for the double post.

Somewhat I can I guess, also seen that sort of problems in countries like Spain and France during holidays. Barely any bus to be seen anywhere, perhaps one day we might see that change making all areas accessible by public transport well and frequent :).
