We think differently when it comes to buses. I hate my local bus routes, and would boycott them if I could. Alas, I need them to connect me to the trains.
I long for the day when I can move within a walking distance of a Tube station.

Moscow has the best tube network. Trains every thirty seconds. Cheap, by any standards you care to name. Never ever late and never ever breaks down. A thirteen minute delay would make the national news, I kid you not.

And don’t get me started on the inability of British people to make way for each other in rush hours.

In fact, the London train network made me so cross when I came back that I boycotted it and took the bus. I’m still doing pretty well on that five years on.

Oh, the letter I could write… I can rant for hours on this topic. I think I’ll just go and have a quiet lie down before I do…

I guess the advantage of being a small town girl is not having to complain about transit at all.

That being said, I would love to spend a year in London, absorbing the culture and history. I’d put up with whatever transit I was given, promise.

Venice has very reliable transport – I’ve never seen anything be more than thirty seconds late. This is probably a side effect of no traffic, no rails, etc.

Of course, it’s full of tourists, so nobody in their right mind ever actually uses the very reliable transport.

People get funny about their transit. I lived for a decade or so in the Bay Area, Ca. There we have perhaps the least perfect transit system- MUNI, BART and AC Transit. Somehow I get all fuzzy just thinking about it! Stockholm syndrome, no doubt.

I would give a very useful limb to have a transport system that was even that reliable. Los Angeles transit sucks. I have nasty thoughts about what someone should do to Anal Complainerson, but I’ll be nice and refrain.
