My favorite way to travel is by train. I think that by bus is not such a comfortable way to travel. I only like to travel by ferry if the sea is calm. I fly in a plane to get to far away destinations. I like to go by car if I get to sit in the front passenger seat. I have been on trams and remember the delight of this. This was in Amsterdam, Riga, Budapest and Melbourne. In Malaysia I got to travel in a rick shaw for a short distance.
What sort of transportation is your favorite?
Have you been on a tram? If so what did you think?
In your life have you been on a train, a bus, a ferry and a plane?

Hey Maximax,I like travel as well just like you,however,my visited places are far less than yours~
.If can give me two options,I would like to tell that car and train.First,I like drive,as long as I'm allowed to drive in the places I visit,I will always rent a car and drive myself that I feel very relaxation and convience;2nd for the train,I like the train travel especially for some short ways,say city to city something~I can enjoy the view outside the window of train while have some drink and music~`wow`wonderful`I never try the train in Euro,which must be very cool`~I don't like fly anyway,however,we sometimes have to take the fly for the long long way travel for the time issue~`lol~`have a nice day~

Hello Tony TT. I think that it is impossible to beat the convenience of traveling by car. You can look at a map and take any route that you like, stopping in any locations that you feel like seeing. I can see that you find it comfortable to travel by train and like me you enjoy looking out of the window at the passing scenery. Have a lovely day my friend.

When I traveled to Luoyang (a city nearby Xi'an), we went there by train. It was nice because at that time it's crowded. But I still like to travel by plane because I don't have long vacations. I can't spend longer time on the way. So I prefer to spend extra money to buy the airplane tickets and therefore we can go to the destination soon.
I love China

I usually end up travelling by air because I usually have to be there at a certain time
or because I only have a couple days and driving would take to long. But most times I
like to drive somewhere if I have a week or more.
I have never been on a train but that is something I want to do in my lifetime. I want
to go by train through the mountains, to Vancouver and then by ferry to Victoria for
a couple days and then back to Vancouver and back home, by train.
I would love to just sit and enjoy the mountains through a different course than
driving. I have driven to Vancouver but by train it would be better because the train
goes a way that cars can't go, up and down the mountain sides.

I too love travelling by train. Bus travel is not comfortable for long distances and air travel is too much frantic with all the new security measures.
Never been by a ferry as we dont have them here. I love to get a seat by the window on a train, open a book and get lost in it.

Bus travel is especially uncomfortable for an overnight trip. I traveled from Trieste to Dubrovnik on a night trip with one change of bus. I felt uncomfortable. On my last holiday I took my toddler on an overnight bus from Vilnius to Tallinn and felt achy when it arrived at 6am. I feel stressed when I fly these days and don't think drinking water could harm anyone. I hope that you travel abroad and go on a ferry there one day.

I'm scared of flying so that's out, but i love traveling by train.
Back home in germany we used to always ride the trains just for fun.
I also like ferry boats.
When we used to go to the north sea we took a ferry.
Now i live in vegas and all there is, is car or bus.
I'm on the bus. oh well

Oh, yes, the trains in Germany are such fun. I studied in the Netherlands for a few months and used to hop over to Germany to use a weekend wonder ticket. I was only valid for slow trains and it took many stops to go right across to Bamberg. Las Vegas doesn't have a train station so you just have a car or a bus.

My favourite way is travelling by train too my friend especially the double decker train I went on, sadly only for a brief period in Amsterdam, I love the novelty of going upstairs on a train! It was a wonderful experience. I have been on trams too in Blackpool, Amsterdam, Sheffield, Manchester and Croydon! I do find car journeys boring compared to other modes of transport, especially when you are not driving. A glass bottom boat was another favourite of mine when in Rhodes, quite an eye opener!

Hi there,
Hmm... i like to travel by car. I enjoy driving and i love to take my Black Indica in the express highway and Zoommmm. I just race away to my destination. Lol well seriouslt i would like to travel in cruise.
Travelling is so much fun if the mode of transport is comfortable and u have wonderful company. In my home town i.e calcutta still there is tram system. I have travelled a lot by rick shaw. In my home town u will get to c hand pulled rick shaw which is so upsetting. A man pulling all the weight looks very odd
.
I have made a lot of plane jouneys but honestly i dont like going to airports anymore. They way they scrtunize everything and the weird look they give to thew passengers makes me very uncomfortable.
I go to various places with my car.. playing my favourite musics in my car deck and i just get to my destination in no time.
Hope u keep traveeling and keep enjoying life!
Cheers,
Tutul

My favorite source of transportation would have to be by car, especially my own. I like the feel of being able to come and go as I please and not have to depend on someone or something to pick me up.
While growing up I have been on a train, though only BART, which is located in the Bay Area. I've been on a bus to get around town (again in the Bay Area), as well as Greyhound for further destinations. The last time I took a trip on a bus was back when I was a teenager. I've flown in a plane before, though only twice in my life when I was a child. Once to get to where I was going and once to return home. I've been on a ferry before, but it only went around a lake, so that doesn't really count now, or does it? I'm pretty sure I've never been on a tram, so I can't say.
