Kat / Germany
speaker I don't use public transportation 1 too often. When I still lived in my home town, it was just too small to have public transportation. Nowadays, I like to ride my car. I think public transportation is a great idea, but I really like the convenience of having my own vehicle 2.
Dani / England
speaker All the time, especially here at the moment at the university, I always use the bus or the train or walk everywhere. I can't drive, so it's my only option 3 really.
Shiloh / United 4 States
speaker At school, I use public transportation a lot to get from my home to my university. There's a regular bus service that runs between my house and my school, which is about five kilometers or so. But when I'm at home with my family in New Mexico, I don't use public transportation at all. I think that American public transportation is few and far between. it's not very well-funded, and it's not very good, unless you live in the city. Everybody has cars, so you don't really have a need for public transportation, because everybody is able to drive himself where they need to go.
Sarah / England
speaker Public transport is something that I don't often use at all. Because I own a car, I normally 5 just jump into the car and just drive wherever I need to go. The only time really that I go use public transport is when I'm traveling around London, because using the underground is a lot more easier than trying to drive through the busy roads.
Warren / Canada
speaker Not so much these days. I have a car now, and where I'm living, the bus system isn't very good and there's no train station right by me, so I tend to drive.
Tim / United States
speaker I don't use public transportation very often. It's not as common in America as it is in other countries. And I also own a car, so if I need to get anywhere, I just drive my own car, which is very convenient 6, because I can go wherever I want at whatever time I want without being dependent 7 on a bus schedule or something like that.
