The next time you feel frustrated about public transportation system, take a look.

Makes me feel very ashamed of myself. 
I spend tons of time complaining because all the parking meters for blocks around my work are 2 hour meters & I can't leave work every 2 hours to put money in.

I'll be the first to admit I take my car (and easy access to pick up) for granted. Oh yeah, and gas that isn't as expensive as other parts of the world.

I didn't know that so many people had horseless carriages!
Though I have to admit that I am very green with my transportation. If I can get their by walking in ubder an hour I'll walk. Otherwise I will use public transport.
Even though I can drive I find that a car isn't that useful in a big town/city. Besides the costs of keeping it maintained/taxed (not to mention fueled) are too high for someone one my salary collecting GW products

Yeah - I used to live in London - I've never even learnt to drive. Now I'm in America I absolutely need to learn to drive soon. Mind you I can't afford a car, so that's not so much of a problem!

oh yeah , thats china for you. it's not a commute, it's a circus act. i personally grew up in chicago and i thought i knew what traffic was till i went to china, had to close my eyes in the cabs.
picture 10 thousand motor scooters loaded like the pics all on the same street, with a bunch of buses and taxis thrown in so folks have somthing to lean on.  and the stop lights were obviously thought of as suggestions. (shudders) but to my complete surprise, i wittnest not one accident in two weeks in guang zhou. (canton to us westerners)

After 3 deployments to Central America and 2 tours on the DMZ in the ROK ... there are locals/indigs living in the countryside that are down right Primitive ! ?To put it in terms we can understand - like Feral Orks ! And let there be no doubt, if the situation presented itself and politics changed ... they'd be just as deadly in their own backyard ...

I've seen some of these before... my favourite is the woman on the scooter with her child, in a basket, in between her legs...
