What mode of transportation do you use to get around where you need to go?

Up until 4 years ago I used the bus then the train came along. You saw the train decorated for our 50th anniversary of Jerusalem. 4 years ago I got my mobility scooter and I have saved on transportation unless I have to go somewhere I cannot take it. There are places I cannot take it because it uses too much of the battery up. In the winter it is hard because the rain is so strong and cannot use windshield wipers and no heater, but, it is so so great and saved my life.

This light rail train they have put in about 4 or 5 yrs ago is right near me and takes me anywhere I want to go. I am so happy with it.

That is good. I wish our light rail would have gone to all the places I needed to go to when I did not have my scooter. Since I have my scooter the bus and the train are not important unless I have to take them once in a while. Where do you live?

@Hannihar I'm glad you have that scooter in your life to make things easier! I mainly use buses the most. Taxis sometimes and trains not so often but still an option. But hopefully I can get in a lot more practice driving and then save enough money to buy a car. I have saved quite a bit but not near enough to get a car. But I will keep trying!

@Hannihar I hope so too. I could also help people out too with driving. Like if my dad wanted to go anywhere or take my Grandparents for drives or some close friends / neighbours. Will be great.
Oh I know! I was actually just talking to my dad about you ( not any personal stuff ) but I explained what you told me in regards to you trying to get in and out of your home. My dad shook his head and said "People are so pathetic." ( people who have their cars in the way and won't respect your wishes ). It makes me very angry.

I hope soon you will get your license and then be able to get a car and have the freedom to go whenever you want to. I had to take buses and the train before my scooter and it saved my life when I got it but now I have to solve the problem of making sure I can get out and then in again.

I hope you can get your license soon and then buy your own car and have freedom. I used to have to take buses and the train but since I have had my scooter I have saved money but now need to find a way to solve the problem with getting out onto the street and on my way and back in too.

Generally, my two wheeler is there. Nowadays it is consuming more petrol. I am thinking of changing it and go for a bicycle. This is a good exercise for my legs and knees also.

When I had my bicycle in Minneapolis, I used to ride it everyone and loved it and it was good exercise too. I brought my last bike I had here and then gave it away. When I thought I wanted one again I sat on one and froze thinking about if I fell off that would not be good. I know with my scooter I do not get as much exercise as I should, but, I love it and it saved my life and I can park it easier than one parks their cars. So, did you have a motorcycle or what?

If you are talking about bikes for me they are scary. They do not use a horn when they come up along side of you or come too close. They have come too close at times that I thought they were going to hit me.

Yes. Environment friendly too. But not suitable for long distances.

Usually it depends on where to go. At somE places public transport is better and at some other private one.

That is cool. Can you go fast on it? Do you drive it on the sidewalk or only in the street?

@Hannihar I prefer moped because of convenience in traffic and parking.
