Any globetrotters in the mix? As I mentioned in my first post, I love to travel! When I do, I take public transit. It’s cheap, it’s (usually) easy, it connects you to the people of the area and it goes everywhere!
Sure, it can be a bit daunting your first trip, particularly if you don’t speak or read the language but as Blanche DuBois said, “I have always depended on the kindness of strangers.” Most people are extremely helpful in this regard. You’d actually be surprised how many people are willing to come to your aid when you have that confused look, furrowed brow, clutched map and general aura of panic.
Now, I definitely have my favourites among some of the more popular transit systems around the globe but what I really want to know is YOUR favourite!

I would have to say Adelaide Metro in Australia, because of the rapid bus system, The O-Bahn Busway. My 2nd favorite is Translink in Brisbane, Australia. Because of the free downtown circle route.
I actually like the Los Angeles Metro system. It gets you to most places (sadly not to the airport yet), some of the stations have interesting art, largely hassle-free, and simple to use.

I was just looking at all the posts here and on Facebook and I had an idea I want to run past you all:
Since many of you have your favourites and have obviously travelled all around, any chance you took pictures of these transit systems? Because, if so, I’d love to do a photo collage project on the blog with all of your photos… maybe even have a contest. What do you think?
