I try to use public transit, living in the Washington DC area, with the traffic we have, transit makes my life tolerable. I think the USA should have more public transit. Hence the Sunday Five.
1: Given a choice do you take a taxi or a subway train from the airport to the city?
2: Which is better, a city bus, or a streetcar?
3: Have you ridden on a cable car? (Several US airports have them.)
4: Should cities build more expressways or subway lines?
5: When will you be willing to ride in a self driving car?
My answers:
1: Given a choice do you take a taxi or a subway train from the airport to the city? The train, almost always.
2: Which is better, a city bus, or a streetcar? I like streetcars better than buses
3: Have you ridden on a cable car? (Several US airports have them.) Yes, several. The thing that sets a cable car apart from a streetcar is the moving cable that propels them. The Cincinnati and Detroit airports have cable car systems.
4: Should cities build more expressways or subway lines? Subways!
5: When will you be willing to ride in a self driving car? Today!
