thats because it only has to transport three people...


sorry couldnt help myself.


but seriously. The experiences i've had personally on busses and trains are enough for me to avoid them.

Then there's the one's friends have had first hand, and then of course the sensationalist media reports (Thinks viral video of French woman recently.)


PT overall in Australia blows.

LOL

It's true, but I hate to admit it.

I was in Germany a few years back, thinking "these busses are great".

Then I realised our Perth busses are way better. And less crowded.

I still hate pubic transport.

Yes you are very right. As a kid I grew up in the city but spent my weekends on our farm, lucky enough to ride all sorts of stuff very young, go carts, buggies, 4 wheel motorbikes, mastered a yz250 etc so sorry if I came off as condescending. Now I'm 30 but I still chase after that pure enjoyment from the machine which I found as a kid, although back then it was mainly about getting sideways and spraying dirt all over everyone lol.
