BF2S Forums On a scale of 1-5

London Underground sux teh cawk

4/5
There is public transportation everywhere in NYC. I still think it takes too long to get places though.

5 for edinburgh's buses, my most used routes a bus comes once every 15 minutes, they're relatively clean and have a free paper

0.5............ fcking crowded during peak hours.

I'd give it a 4 because of the high prices, but the trams are designed by Porsche Design, so it gets a 6/5

Seriously, in Oslo, you don't need a car at all - public transportation will get you everywhere.

<3 Swiss public transportation.

4/5. Rely on busses daily, and they are on mostly on time. Relatively clean and new, so it aint that bad.

Trains- 4/5- However much people say the UK train service is shit, I have yet to catch a train that wasnt on time (admittedly, I dont catch trains that often....).

4.

Everyone in UK complains about the buses etc. but Birmingham is, imo, the best place to live in in England.

Well i live in dublin, -50/5

absolutly shit, better off with a bike tbh

Vienna is pretty nice. Individually, I would say each form (bus, underground, tram) might get a 3.5-4, but as the whole system, I give it a 5.

Buses: On the outskirts, they come rather seldom and are often late, but you have to get pretty far away to have that problem. They're large and comfortable and get around a lot and cover any hole in the system that the other two lines leave.

There are also Nightline buses that copy the tram and underground lines when everything else stop at 12:30. Those get you anywhere and run until the normal stuff starts again at around 6am (maybe earlier).

Trams: Eh, these would probably earn a 3.5 for me. They get around and are hardly ever held up by traffic on the seldom sections in the outskirts that have to share the rails with cars. But about 50% of them are these very old models and do not accomodate wheelchairs at all or the handicapped. The newer models are really nice, though, compared to the older models. Only thing is that none of them have A/C.

Underground: Comes every 2-5 minutes (rush hours are when they run them close). They just finished an extension that goes straight to the big football (soccer) stadium that was used for the Euro. About 50% of the trains are these new Siemens models with A/C. The others lack it and in the summer can get really rough on the bad days. But they are MUCH larger than those piddly 70s trains in London and MUCH more spacious.

Then there is the Schnellbahn that runs mostly around the outskirts and goes out of the city and those are dope.

Best thing I love is if you have to cross the city from one end to another, it will take AT MOST 1 hour. Also, a one-way ticket only costs €1.70 and you can use it on any line provided that you are moving in ONE direction. But there are month cards, week card, day cards, etc. All very cheap.
