Not me (never learned)
Me (bus, train, U)
Me (seldom use it, though :oops: )

And I'm in a tenement, so you're not nicking my parking space :)

Yes - i teach the lil' darlins to drive.
Megabus sometimes to Glasgow. Train ridiculously dear from Dundee, underground - yes. Wherever possible. Never been on it in London but Milan and Berlin as well as 'the' underground.
Bike? Occasionally pedal. M/C - yes.

I have a Honda CRV but I very rarely drive it as you miss so much when behind a wheel.

For work I always use bus/train and frequently airplane as well.

I prefer the bus as I like to look out the window and spot interesting buildings.

Passed test in 1996, but can't afford a car :-(
So it's train, bus, Subway, and sometimes (not often) my two feet.

A bike ?????? No chance.

I have a car, but it's sitting in the driveway offically VOR. current mode of transport is

Walk - from home to station, 10 mins
Train - Yoker to Bellshill, 40 mins
Walk - Bellshill to Mossend, 10 mins

on the way home I get a lift to the Thornwood roundabout and get a bus from there

Daily travel time 1:40 cost £75 per month SPTE zonecard

Not running a car has double benefits - time saved by not sitting on the great carpark called the M8 means i can spend even more time in the pub spending the petrol money on beer to piss up against a wall.

It's only when you go outside of the SPTE region that you realise that you really ought to feel grateful for what they do. Ta :)

I took umpteen lessons but never went for my test.

I'll get the bus if I can't be arsed walking but most of the time i'm on my feet.

I had a bicycle last year but the gears snapped off and buckled the rear spokes.

Sometimes I get a lift home from work if somebody is going my way.

I don't drive, I use public transport - mostly trains and probably next in order is Subway then bus.

I cycle a fair bit. Today I went from Balmaha to Milngavie. Going over Conic Hill with a bike is something I vow never to do again!
