Answer 1

I live in central California and public transportation here is terrible. The car is the only way to get around. Buses are available in certain busy areas but do not run frequently enough and in enough locations to make them worthwhile for the average commuter.

I have experienced efficient public bus/metro service in the San Francisco bay area as well as in New York City and metropolitan Washington, D.C. and can tell you that it IS the most effective way to get around in those areas.

If an efficient, convenient public transportation system was built in my area I would most definitely use it. Gasoline is very expensive!

Answer 2

Public transport here is terrible so the car is the main mode of transport. I would use public transport if it was more readily available. Jules. Perth, Western Australia.

Answer 3

New York City
Subway but it is a close tie with all the other choices.
Yes because the price of gas and the traffic once you reach Manhattan is terrible.

Answer 4

I live in a small town in ms. most people drive cars, no I would not take a bus, or train, that ain't gonna happen where I live. This town is so small, you can go anywhere in 10 min., I cannot wait to leave this sssh!t hole!
