Mode Of Transport

In Glasgow i use the underground everyday, i also walk a lot or if it is somewhere i cannot get to easily i get into a taxi.

If i am am heading North then it is underground, train, bus, walk and reverse that for on the way back.

Great idea Macotheisles - Only a minor development of those slidy things at the new Tate Modern exhibition that have been all over the news. ('I don't know anything about art' - but slidy things? Yes Please Wheeeeeeaaaahhhhh!)

I mainly use the bus to get to uni every day which is O.K, but I find buses don't go to enough places, they just seem to shuttle into the Centre of Towns like the trains. I also don't use First buses, too dirty, the smell is awful on some of them, the seats are rock hard and full of the type that have taken up residents at her majesty's pleasure for me. Arriva buses aren't too bad, I've had little trouble on them.

Take my car a lot to get to work since I passed my test 3 or 4 years back now. There is no bus back from my work where there is no bus late enough and for occasional journeys across the city where the bus is inconvient.

Trains, I used to get more, but they are too slow for me, and the longer walk to the station negates any time saved against the bus unless traffic is bad. They are also noisy diesel trains and the conductor has to man the doors, instead of selling tickets as is his job with unmanned stations and I refuse to wait in the 10 minute queue to buy tickets at the end of the platforms in Central. Heres a hint First Scotrail- instead of having 2 guys checking tickets, and 5 people selling them at the end of the platform get them on the trains as well as some ticket machines on the trains too and at Central platforms.

Don't use the subway much anymore as it isn't near me and I rarely go into the west end and usually bus it if I do.

If you lived in Largs or Greenock you could use a speed-boat and go up the Clyde. It could be marketed as a Christmas shopping gimmick. The boat would take you to some kind of wharf or pier where a concierge would greet you and lead you to a shuttle bus or even just point to the St. Enoch centre.

i cant drive.

use the train everyday to uni

never want to use a bike ever again!!!

[AlanM]

Drive a car, but not usually into City Centre

Use the bus fairly frequently

Walk a fair bit

hardly ever use train or underground now (mostly due to distance)

[glasgowken]

If i'm coming back late, I always get a taxi now. I decided it's not worth taking the bus.

I like the train, unfortunately i dont live near a train station. I have never liked the bus for a variety of reasons. I drive mostly and occasionally walk. In good weather as much driving as possible is done by Ford Anglia

My last car found its end on an icy road...

I used to bike everywhere but my trusty bike was getting old and when I moved it wouldn't fit into the bus anymore, so I set it free next to my house. I am sure it has found a new owner. Now I walk or use my mum's old bike. And public transport, of course. Anything but flying, I'll do that only when I really have to.

I like that idea - I don't think we use the river nearly enough!

Field Marshall lets be honest would you want to live in Greenock.
