Public transport is my main transportation besides my boyfriend. I take the subway to work and the bus to my internship. I don't drive. And it's really not that bad, only when the sports games get out is it bad. Other than that it's not bad at all.

To be honest, this may pay for a bus pass for me.

i have used it but the only time I have used it in a long, has been when I am traveling.  Like taking a cab from the airport to the hotel.  I don't use it at home.

Not now.... I have a vehicle.  Although I've been considering utilizing public transport to see if I'd save any $$$.  My husband is wanting to invest in another vehicle...since sharing was is a bit hindering on him more so than me.  Even if I utilized public transport for 1/2 of travels it may be beneficial in my situation.

There is no public transportation where I live. Good thing I do not have the need for it. When I was a young girl we use to take a public transit bus to get to swimming lessons. That was quite some time ago.

No public transportation in my area.  The neighborhood kids have to walk 1/3 mile to get to the school bus stop.

I use the PRTC and sometimes the Metro, though with all the problems Metro has had I'm always leery when I have to use it.

I combine car plus public transportation if I go to the office as parking is expensive directly in the city.  I use to take a longer commute and use that time to read or fall asleep, but now rides on public transportation is just 20 minutes.

I occasionally use public transportation to go visit my daughter who lives about 55 miles from my house. It only takes an hour to drive there but it takes 3 1/2 hours by public transportation as it involves 3 different trains.

There is no public transportation where I live.  Yes, we have cabs but we don't even have Uber yet.   There are some buses that are in the city (I live outside city limits) that go to the mall and a few other places but it's not readily available.

Yes, I use public transportation.  I live in a small town and I don't own a car so I walk, ride a bike and take the city bus when I need to go somewhere.  It takes a while for me to get to where I need to be if I ride the bus because it has a designated route with designated stops.

I recently decided to invest in an electric bike and that thing is so much fun.   :heart:

I used to many many years ago. I have a vehicle now. If the need arises I'm happy to know it's available and I can go wherever; it just takes a long time.
