This is my last poll before I leave PPT for a while because of exams. Hoping to see lovely replies when I return in June.

I most often take KMB and the MTR because they are cheap, quick and reliable. I sometimes take minibuses to the town centre but I don't like the minibuses because the drivers sometimes disobey traffic rules.

Depends on where I am going, Tram if I want to go to Croydon, Train if I have to go somewhere long distanced or want to get somewhere quicker and Bus if I have to go somewhere that is in between train stations.

Our public transportations system is not adequate for a city of our size. That being said, I rarely use it. When I do, it's the Metro bus to get to work when my husband is sick.

*laughs sadly* I really wish public transport was better here.

The buses are unreliable (late most of the time), so I don't take them unless the situation is dire. When I'm traveling long distances, it's train ftw. Long bus trips can be made to longer thanks to too many stopovers along the way. I'm quite partial to the subway, but I only get to take that when visiting NYC. I dislike taxis, I'd rather walk.

When I lived in my hometown, there was no public transport...unless you count carpooling with your friends.

Tram and bus. Mostly bus, as it's much faster.

The buses for the most part, but for long distances aeromoplanehopters.

Assuming I'm able to fight off the Agoraphobia, the Bus will be my port of call.

Or I'll walk, I have that unique form of lazy where I won't wait 15 minutes for the next bus, but I'll walk the 4 and a bit miles home.

Of those, we have buses. (Technically we also have trains and taxis, but the trains are not the public transport type, and our taxi services are all privately owned businesses as far as I know.) I don't ride them, because the system is horrendous and goes nowhere I'd want to go.

How come some of you guys have inadequate public transport options? How long does it take for you to go to the town centre to do your daily chores? Sorry for asking this but in my city, there is a sophisicated transportation network and I live very close to a MTR station. (5 minutes walk.)

Bus and taxi usually. Unless I'm going to Birmingham City and then I catch the train. :)

There are these things called cars. We drive them. Walking or bicycling are other options, although my city's also rather hostile to pedestrians and bicyclists.

The public transportation options where I am absolutely suck! Because of that, I end up driving most places.

My husband and I carpool to work. It's about a 45 minute drive one way to get from our part of town to the area close to downtown where we work - and that's using the HOV lane. If we drove in the main highway lanes, it'd take more than an hour.
Our city is simply huge, and public transportation wasn't planned as it grew - so it's been kinda an attempt to catch up over the last couple decades. In some areas, they would have to actually take down buildings in order to make it any better, which isn't likely to happen in a hurry.

Since I don't live in the "city" (I'm in suburbia) I'd probably most often take the Metro into D.C.

Bus all the time. The only times recently I've used the train for was the O2 in Finchley and to Hackney, once, and never again. *shudders* As for trams, they don't exist near me. It's only when you go quite far out.
