When did you last use public transport?

[englisharcher]

After catching the train into Nottingham today, due to it been cheaper than the petrol and parking, it got me thinking, and i realised that it was the first time i had used public transport in 17 years, and i'm only 35

When did you last use public transport?

[Puddenchucker]

Does an Easyjet flight count as public transport?


If not, then the last time I used public transport was 10th November..........









.....1997

[wackojacko]

A couple of weeks ago to get to Arsenal for the Fulham game. Other than foootball I avoid using public transport as much as I can !


Hate it !

Bus to school, about 10 years ago. I live in a rural area where there is one bus in the morning and one in the evening and that's it. Car is the only way I can realistically get anywhere I need to go.

Last week.

Thames Clipper to the O2 and then people pipe back to the car afterwards.

I went on a train about 4 years ago. This happens occasionally if i have the misfortune of having to go to London.

[Killer2005]

A few weeks ago to go into Leeds city centre. It would only be a short car journey so Id rather leave my car at home than take it in, find somewhere to park, then get stuck in a queue on the way back out.

train about 1/2 hour back

use trains daily, had a bus ride yesterday, and a croydon tram

get me

[AndrewW-G]

I use the train when either heading down to London, or when picking up / dropping off cars. So at least a couple of times a month

Just over a week ago. A train to London.

OP, is this the first journey you've made over the past 17 years where there would have been a cost saving?

Got the train to Shanklin, to go on the piss about 4 weeks ago!

The best way to get to the O2.

I was on a train yesterday, a couple of tubes, and a couple of buses too. Most days, it's all public transport for me.

ps: No prizes for guessing where I live.

Before I could drive.

I did look at getting a train to London with my family (6 of us) and saw it would cost £240 as opposed to £30 in fuel and free hotel parking so needless to say I drove.

Use the train regularly if going into Glasgow.
Cheaper than driving and allows for a drink.

Any other destination public transport is useless.

[mrmr96]

Last week, train into Waterloo and then tube to my destination.
I don't enjoy it, so I avoid it where possible!

[Negative Creep]

In the last 10 years I honestly think it's been less than a dozen times. If it's a short distance I walk otherwise it's by car. Anything to avoid a trip on the expensive, unsafe loser cruiser

About a week ago. Bloody hate it.

No, but i'm having to penny pinch at the minute

[sparkyhx]

every weekday for the past 2 years living in London. I have a daily driver that gets used only at weekends and a weekend car that gets used a few times a year.

ho hum

Is the tube in London any good?

I was in NYC recently and used the subway every day, all over Manhattan and at all times, even 3/4am. It was great.
