Any of you use ground public transportation?

I took the day off and ran errands all day. My bike and I were on five different buses. Putting a light weight bike on a bus bike carrier is a snap and only takes seconds. Delaware has drastically improved their bus system and now it's very convenient to bus/bike to work or errands.....although it's an adjustment to losing so much time waiting at bus stops. Doesn't bother me though, I just go into navel contemplation mode.

You must be in northern DE? Here in Lower Slower the many of our busses only run in the summer. Totally useless!

Yup, use the buses, trams and trains all the time. It was quite nice going out to our triathlon on Sunday and seeing loads of triathletes on the S-bahn. We aren't allowed to take bikes on busses or trams here and are restricted to off-peak times on the U- and S-bahn (underground and city railways respectively), but that is understandable.

In fact, DH and I said the other day that we should go and check whether our car was still in the garage - we hadn't used it for a few weeks and we could imagine what the police would say if it got stolen: "so when did your car disappear?" us:"umm, some time in the last six weeks...."

Train to and from work every day. (I bike to the train station, then grab my bike and head to our son's daycare, where we park the car, then grab my husband from the train station and head home.)

Subway or trolley if I'm heading out for dinner downtown after work. Train, subway, bus and trolley for weekends spent in town.

If we're visiting our aunt in northern New Jersey, we'll ride the state-funded bus or the privately-operated jitney into New York City, and take the bus and subway there.

Vacationing, we try to take the subway and trains.
