I don't often use the train. I only had some trips by train a long time ago. And they were very interesting and memorable.
I think my favorite public transport is the bus but only for short distances, within the city, such as going to school, going shopping or going out with my friends. Because it's convenient, stress-free, environmentally-friendly, and very cheap. I still get to meet people and see things while getting from point A to point B, and it can be very calming as well. But when I have to travel long distances, the bus is not comfortable and secure. Thus, traveling by train or plane is a better option for long trips.
Not only use train daily, mostly use the truck
talk about five peple searching your final departure
Hi! I some time use a train. I like train as my favorite public transport. It is longer than a bus. It is very comfortable and very condition is very good.
NO
I have never been by train, my favorite means of transport is the plane since it is faster than other means of transport, which would take land or sea by plane, the time is much shorter
I'm from Saudi Arabia and I use the train once time in my life
and I like plane for traveling cuz its most comfortable and fast
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 sometimes use trains, I prefer to travel by car because it's very fast
yes, i often use the train. my favorite public transportation is the train because is ecological and you talk with people or friends and is very cheap and safe.
My favorite public transport is the taxi.
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've never used train.I rarely use public transport.I've only used taxi and bus,but I don't like it
I've never been use train. My favourite is car.
I rarely use train. My favourite type of public transport is car.
Yes i often use train, because it is more comfortable then other transportation
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.
