What kind of public transportation do you usually take when travelling?

I don't have my own wheels so I always use public transportation vehicles. Since I am here in Philippines, the most common that people use for public transportation is the jeepney (only in the Philippines.) It is more convenient to use because there is no need to worry with the parking area just like what you said. The second most common vehicle I use is bus because mostly in national highways they outnumber the jeepneys and other like taxis. Anyway whatever vehicle I use I just always pray to be comfortable and safe to where I am going.

Dorisday, I have a t-shirt that my son bought me while he was on a mission trip two summers ago in the Philippines with a photograph of a jeepney on it! Most people here in the United States don't know what they are, and I have to explain it to them! IF it's the whole family going, we usually drive long distances. Work and school, we also drive our cars. There are buses here in my city, and taxicabs but the buses aren't always safe and the cabs are very expensive. I love to travel to other cities where they have subways and EL trains. It's fun to get on and go all over the cities.

i usually prefer to go by bus because its a bit cheap wen compared to trains,autos and taxis and moreover i believe it s the saffest mode of transport in the modern days where we are seeing a lot of accidents everyday.

my general transportation is done by city bus just cause it's cheaper than a car and i can pretty much take to buses from wear i live to be anywhere in the city(Thank god for phoenix being a easy to navigate grid unlike some cities I've lived in) though the bus has some down side like you never know who's gonna be on other just the other day i was enjoying my ipod go to pick up some _hippie lettuce" when this fat cjick gets on sit next to me, this normally isn't a problem but see had a trimmed goatee a nice one at that, the rest of the ride i had to fight myself from starring at her hair chin, another problem is it's never on time anymoar expectaly with the times changes resently its an issue to get were im going on time now adays...mm i think i just talked my self into getting a car lol

I can't stand public transport. I would rather bike it. But a pedicab, that's well good.

I dont travel very much, usually the farthest place I visit is only around 6 hours away, and I usually drive there. It much cheaper and it is not too bad.

We really have no choice but to go anywhere we go by car. We live in a small, rural town, and there is no such thing as public transit here. When we travel long distance, we like to fly, because it's fast and easy. There are no millions of semis in the sky, either. (just birds, I guess :O).

I drive everywhere when I am in town. I won't ride in a cab anywhere. Talk about risky! I have done this in the past and wanted to hide under the front seat until we got to our destination. The last time I visited our daughter in Arizona, I took a shuttle to her little town from the airport. It was about a 2 hour drive and was nice. I also took a shuttle to a friend's house from the airport in Sacramento to her little town. That was also a good experience. Would be nice if we had transportation here other than a cab, bus or metrolink which is an above ground rail system. I learned something from this discussion. Never heard of a jeepney.

I usually ride a tricycle, jeep, bus, train or taxi. It depends on where I am going. But I enjoy riding taxi. Aside from I get fast to where I am suppose to go, I am relax. It is comfortable and no stress at all.

Even though I have my own set of wheels, I prefer to use the public transportation vehicle. The roads are just too chaotic. It seems like everyone wants to use the road at the same time. This leads to too much stress and tension while driving on the rads here and I am always afraid that some accident might occur due to the aggressive driving behavior of many driver. Therefore, I prefer to use the public transportation like the taxi, buses, auto rickshaws, rick shaws(pulled by the driver. In these cases there is no hassle in looking for parking spaces near offices or malls. Plus I am not responsible for the vehicle.

I prefer to drive, and if I stay within New Jersey that is the most convenient thing, since public transportation is horrible. There is a train station near me, but my line only goes along the coast. If I go into the city (New York), I will take the train, and then travel by subway once I am there. If I go outside of New York or New Jersey, I will drive, unless it is very far, in which case I might take a train. I dislike flying and will only do so if the trip would be more than a 10 hour drive. Sometimes even then, I will drive anyway, and stay overnight along the way. It is also more convenient to have a car, otherwise I would have to pay transportation expenses at my destination.

We don't have much available to us, we drive our own car. We can take a train but only to limited places or a plane if we could afford it. But in the West there are not many options for public transportation

Travelling is very easy in my country. We have a lot of bus, taxi and van. I sometimes take bus or taxi. The big bus is a bit slow so when I am in a hurry I take van which is much faster.

I normally just drive my own vehicle even over long distance. I never use public transpo for short distances but if I do use public transpo it is usually just a plane and then only because it is quicker than driving.

hello, dorisday. just like you, i usually take the jeepney. i only take the bus when jeepneys are not that easy to find in some areas. the trains becomes an alternative when the travel will be along those very busy streets. taking the bus or the jeepney will only cost me many hours of travel when in fact, it should only be some minutes by train. meaning, i always keep my options depending upon the area where i am at. however, in most cases, it is the jeepney for me or, the taxi when the days are much too hot for the usual jeepney rides.

Hi...We are both in the same country. In going to my work, I have 3 short rides, i.e. the tricycle then bus or van for hire and then jeepney. When I go to home province or other province or city and not using our own car, I take bus. In going to a far place or other country I take airplane. The airplane is the fastest transportation to reach a destination.

Hello dorisday1971! I rarely take public transportation. But if I should, I find the taxi most convenient. When I go to Manila, another possible public transportation I would most likely take would be the MRT and the LRT. I actually prefer to drive on my own or ask someone to drive for me. I feel more comfortable and at ease.

I usually ride a taxi if I'm in a hurry. I ride a bus everyday on my way to the office. I stopped riding a train because I usually get hurt in the crowd. I'm more comfortable riding a bus now because I can sit and sleep at the same time.

I don't travel far. so if i go out of my city, i usually take a long distance coach, the price may be 4 times than that of a train ticket, but it sets off very often and comfortable. and i do taxi to another city, but normally back to my city, i share a cab with other 2 passengers, it saves a lot and very fast, even faster than i drive myself.

hi dorisday, when im going out alone like going to buy some items in the grocery,ill just ride a pedicab or tricycle..for malling or going out somewhere i always have my husband driving for me and for the kids too.when i was still working i always ride in MRT and fx van..
