Hi! guys I am Itzel, I don´t travel although I would love to, but I think it is a lot of fun because you meet new people, places and traditions. :)
Hello everybody. I'm from Vietnam. I used to the train when I was a student. My favourite type of public transport is the train. Because I don't carsick when moving by train. : )
Ok, where so you live in VN? I don't know that Vietnamese can travel regularly by train!
My last train was in 2008 when I traveled to Hanoi with my father. Everything seemed strange to me. I had been very excited. And then, I slept all the trip. There is one thing I remember is that I had cried a lot and my father give me a chocobin ( a box of animal chocolate cookies ). I ate it and stopped crying. It had become my unforgettable memory. I like traveling by train a lot.
In 2015 i went to Germany with my family for holiday. I traveled from Friedrichshafen to Ulm by train. I visited Ulmer Münster ( Huge cathedral ) and climbed it's tower. Both this train trip and visiting historical cathedral impressed me a lot. I advice everybody...
I usually don't use train, because it's better for me to take a bus. The bus takes me closer to my school, and I use public transportation only for going to school.
sometimes, I use the train to Ha Noi - the captial of Viet Nam- my country. In Viet Nam, type popular of public transport are taxi, bus, motorbike service - the local people called " xe ôm", hihihi....It is interesting, you come and experience!
I never use the train. My favourite transportation is Metro because it's the fastest in my city.
Yes I often use trains when it's the holidays, but I don't like them becaue they give me headaches, I prefer planes, because it's faster than trains.
I use a train sometimes, but i prefer my car, because it very fast and comfortable. Also I like a aeroplane, because I realy like to fly in the sky! Also my favourite transport is a fairy and hovercraft. They are interesting transport in the world, it can moving in the water.

I haven't been on a train yet. And I'll try it soon.
My favorite public transport is bus.
Because the price of bus ticket is cheap so it's suitable for the students, it's not as expensive as taxi and there's a bus stop near my house.
when I was a child, I used train about one or two times a year but in now it is not
Maybe I choose bus when I use public transport because it is so favorable
I don't use train any time to travel but also plane .

I rarely use train. My favourite type of public transport is car.

No, I don't often go by train. Going by train is not popular in my country (Vietnam), because the trains are only suitable for far distances, and they are quite slow. Nowaday many people like going by cheap airlines, it is more quick than train. For short trips, I like to use taxi. It is easy to catch a taxi every where.
No, It is not true! I see that there are many people in Vietnam still go by train. Althought now there are some cheap airlines, its price is high for many people. For examle, last month i still go to my province by car for passengers but somethings changed and I had to go so far to catch a car. So now I go by train. Because it is cheap, and it has priority for students, children and elderly people.
Well, it is depends o many factors. For example, I live in a little city so we don't have the train. The bus service works pretty well but I don't like a lot because the timetable is not the best for me.
If I to chose one choice I would say that the plane is my favorite transport, because I love airport and its enviroment.
Well, I am from Colombia. I live in Popayan, but I am from Ipiales. Here in Popayan, there is not train, but the city has Public transport, called Public Transport Integrated System with a bus stop in anywhere. However, I does not usually use a bus, but I go to University on foot and few times by motorcycle. Now, Why do not I use bus? Because I do not like its bus drivers, they are usually unpolite and some buses are broken and old, too. So, I prefer to go on foot to university.
I never use a train for traveling because there is no train in my city. My favorite transportation is bacaci. It is very fast according to another public transportation also time is very important for me.
I always use the train as my daily transportation and it is better than the other public transportation. Trains are faster than the other vehicles so i like to travel by it.
I never go by bus, but I love to go by train because i have fun and it is very comfortable like a bed of roses...especially when going to the up countries this transportation is really useful and good too .
I use the train sometimes, but most of the time i use a car or taxi. My favorite type of public transport is the train,but I don't like travelling in a plane because it's very boring and makes me tired too.
No I don't. My favourite type of public transport is airplane because I like to fly in the sky.
