[Brutuskend]

This thread is all about Public Transportation.

Use it?

 

[xospec1alk]

[parsley007]

[Ketteringo]

How about "I own a running car and have never ridden the bus."

Fixed poll

 

[Bryophyte]

Live way out in the country, but occasionally (every few months) take MAX into Portland from Hillsboro.

For the commuters here at school, they have buses that run from the parking lots to the middle of campus. I ride that bus every day, but that's it as far as mass transit goes.

I use my car to get to work. (about 10 blocks, but down and up hills) When I get there, I use a shuttle bus to get around since I work for a University and frequently have to go from one side of campus to the other.....

 

[TwinkleToes77]

I've never been on a public transit bus.

 

[PatboyX]

use to ride the train every day for school. now i drive to work.

Mountain bike = faster than any other means of getting to work for me. It's 30 min by bike, 30-50 by car depending on traffic (usually around 45), and I don't even want to think about how long the buses would take. I'd guess at least 1:15 including waiting on the curb for the damn thing to show up. It kinda sucks when it's cold or rains, but it's still less aggravating than dealing with other drivers.

I have never ridden the bus and would rather be thrown under it than ride it. I live out in BFE which explains the former. The people that I see at bus stops explain the latter.

 

[freegeeks]

I take the train every day - my employer pays 100 % of the cost when we take the train so it's a bit silly
to take the car (with the added traffic jams)

Several years ago the bus was my main form of transportation. I lived in a smaller city than I do now, and you could get anywhere in town for fifty cents, and during the week it would the longest I would sit on the bus would be a half-hour to forty-five minutes. The buses were clean, the drivers were friendly, and the weirdos kept to themselves (for the most part). Oh, and I had no car at the time. When I had a girlfriend with a car, we drove it everywhere.

Now I live in a bigger city, and have never used the bus here. It can take 2-3 hours to get places, bus schedules are at awkward times, and (from what I've heard) prices are extortionate. When I had no car, I borrowed one. Then I bought a motorcycle and used it almost exclusively, except in bad weather. Then I got a car, got married, and stopped riding my bike.

So which poll selection should I use?

I love ridding the bus. I live about 2 blocks from my bus stop so it is great for me. I wake up walk to the bus stop, get on, read my book for 15- 20 min. Get off walk 3 blocks and I am at work. It is probably just as fast as driving because I don't have to look for parking. I am way to cheap to go to a lot arround here (almost $15 - $20 a day).

 

[DurocShark]

I ride pretty much when my car is busted... But there have been several times in my life when I used it as my primary mode of transpo.

 

[LAUST]

Before driving age I would take the bus, ride my bike or walk everywhere, now I never ride the bus

 

[Muzzan]

Don't have a driver's license, so I go by bus or tram...

 

[SWScorch]

considering I live 20 miles from the nearest city, I dont think its an option for me

 

[crumpet19]

Every place in need to go in town I can walk to. I'd prefer to get the excersize anyway. But, when I go back to Tulsa, I drive.

 

I though this was a thread about mistaken lyrics for Queen's "Another One Bites the Dust". :/

 

[sillymofo]

I ride a bus, but it has nothing to do with automobiles.
