How often do you use public transportation?

I really don't think it is an issue. There are constantly new deposits of oil being discovered, and current gasoline based vehicles can be easily modified to run on alcohol or natural gas. I know that a friend of the family said that his car ran out of gas in the middle of nowhere and all he had was a jug of industrial grade alcohol in the back of his van that he used to clean paintbrushes with. He said that old van never ran so well as when he put that alcohol in the tank.

I only use it when on day trips in NYC - train and subway.

OR

When I go to Florida, Orlando / Kissimmee - we use the public buses. Cheapest way to go.

 

I nevre really use it because there is not enough demand here for it to be everywhere. If it was more avaiable I would use it though.

 

Agreed- public transportation here is a pain in the butt. Buses do connect you pretty much anywhere but it may take you hours to get to your destination. I have, however, used TRAX on many occasions to get downtown.

 

There's no such thing as public transportation here. Even if there was, I probably would still use my car. As long as I have a dependable car I'll put it to good use!

 

It's just a comfort thing, ha? For me too, lol.

 

When my office moves, I'll be able to take one bus to get there. I asked one of my coworkers if I'm allowed on buses, since I drive a BMW... he laughed and said, "Yes, but you have to do two Hail Mulhollands a week."

(Mulholland Dr. runs along the crest of the Santa Monica Mountains and is curvy and hilly and great for a high-performance car.)

Ah, the old chicken or the egg issue.

 

if i had the choice, i would leave the car/truck at home, but then idd have to walk, or ride missy.

Oh I know. Gasoline is a luxory over there. Nearly all the cars in my family could not be driven in Germany, not only because of the high gas prices, but also because some of them are too big to drive in the narrow roads and park in the small parking stalls. Come to think of it, only 1 out of our 6 cars would be economical there.

 

Oh yeah...when we lived in Germany we always tried to get our gas at some of the cheaper ones. In Ulm, we always got our gas at Schleckerland gas station. They were sometimes over 10 cents cheaper than everyone else; most I've seen was 21 cents cheaper than the competition.

 

thanks, im returning to my childhood. i had a horse when i was little.
