S-Bahn, U-Bahn + bike in Berlin


Which means of transport do you use usually?
Berlin is a city of great transport system. It has two types of subway: S-Bahn and U-Banh, trams and buses go all over around the city. And really good point is everything comes just on time. Ok, we have small problem here – a lot of reconstructions take place some time. But you easily can switch one to another because usually they are all connected somehow, especially in the city center. You need to get used to the system and how it works, but when you learn everything it will be really easy to get any where.
Also Berlin has good system of bicycle roads.

Why do you use it?
I use public transport because first I don’t have a car, but I don’t care about it, because in such a city as Berlin it is even easier to go with tram or subway.
Second is when you go with a car you can’t see as much as when you go with public transport. For example you can have a good tour just using ring subway, because it doesn’t go underground but across the city.

Which is your favorite means of transport?
But my favorite type of transport is my bicycle. Love it).

Why?
I love to travel with my bicycle because I can stop where ever I want. it’s cheaper, just by a it one time, you can buy a second hand at one of the floh-markets. And bicycle roads are everywhere. You can park your bike near subway station or go with it there, but in that case you need to buy extra ticket for bike.

No parking in Paris


Which means of transport do you use usually?
I prefer using public transport (metro, bus).

Why do you use it?
In Paris it’s a lot easier to go around by using the Metro (subway). Using a car is quite difficult because parking slots tend to be occupied and if you get one you have to make sure that you don’t pull the hand break. As Paris is lacking parking space people usually push your car a little bit forth or back to fit in the small slots. That is why most cars in the city are old and covered with bumps and scratches. (like on the second picture)

Which is your favorite means of transport?
I occasionally take the Batobus, which is a public boat line that connects the most important sights along the Seine.

Why?
It’s a great trip and you can watch all those tourists enjoying their stay in Paris. I happend to sit next to a group of some American girls celebrating their bachelor party in funny dresses. I love this nice and funny moments… You’ll have to try it yourself.
