    Preferably, none. I use my bike or longboard for anything within the city, and my car if I have to drive further.

    But if I have to choose... metros and trams.

    The choo choo train. Buses are my least favourite mode of transport.

    Bus ^^ I take it every day. The reason I prefer it is that the train here is always so full during the time I leave and go home daily, there are virtually no seats and it's pretty cramped. It's either bus home or train home for me, I don't have any other way since it's so far.

    Buses, since I get on pretty much near the first stop, I usually find a window seat and take a nap/listen to music/gaze out the window for 45 minutes. I find it pretty calming. :slight_smile:

    Ferries. I used to use them when I was working on Asia side of the city. Now only use them when I have to visit relatives living on that coast.

    That would be trains for me as well. I love watching landscapes swoosh by. It's also a quite green alternative.

    Train. I would much rather travel by train than drive. It's also safer and wins on environmental impact. Electric traction often gives back to the grid.

    Trains, by a wide margin. I wish we had a faster, better network of trains like Japan's Bullet Trains...our system is in many ways not much more advanced than it was 100 years ago, sadly...

    Trains are the main form I take. I hate buses, and I don't like taxis. But trains I'm good with :slight_smile:

    Bus, since it's the most practical way to travel around the city.

    Car for everything outside the city, since... vroooom!

    Honestly,same here:slight_smile: There isn't a train system around here, but the bus system that we have can take you basically wherever you need to go in town: restaurants, Walmart and the mall:lol:

    Hanging around the mall with my bf, sounds fun!

    Oh, speaking of transportation. In the park, here they have these small "trains" on wheels, it's like, super cool to ride them through the park and just relax and take in the scenery.
