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.

Which means of transport do you use usually?
I usually use public transportation.

Why do you use it?
I like to look out of the window of overground trains, watching at people on the street. What is even more interesting is looking at people directly around me in trains.

Which is your favorite means of transport?
Depends on the city. Summer in cities where you can ride a bike is great. The huge advantage is having the overall control. But when I am exausted from my day I prefer public transportation-. Then I can relax on my way home.

Why?
I like to chose a way through the city to get food for my eyes. When I can go by bike I get a lot of impressions from the city itself, when I use public transportation I get impressions from the people living there. And there are many different kinds of people around. Some are conservative, some alternative, different cultures and aims. When I observe this stuff I feel creativity coming up in my mind. As I am an author in my freetime I use the public transportation as one of my creativity sources. Even taking the same way every day at similar time – the environment and therefore the impressions are different. That is what I need for my fantasy…

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.

At the moment trains remain probably the last unconnected space in NYC – but they don’t have to anymore. The “L Train Notwork”, a digital experiment/stunt/art project from the creative agency WeMakeCoolSh.it, launched on New York’s subways Monday, allows commuters to chat and flirt via their devices.

In certain cars on the L Train, the favored line of hip New Yorkers zipping between some of the city’s hippest neighborhoods WeMakeCoolSh.it established something looking quite like a www connection at first sight. But users are linked to fellow riders in a chat room instead. To keep the conversations going the digital agency also provides the users with webby-looking visual and literary content.

David Zax says in his Fast Company report: “If the World Wide Web is a Borgesian, universal library, then the L Train Notwork is an intimate art gallery.”
We think it could make a daily commute at least more enjoyable.

Which means of transport do you use usually?
Usually I use public transportation – subway preferably.

Why do you use it?
It’s fast and effective mean of transportation. The greatest point being it doesn’t get influenced by traffic situation. Thanks to smart layout of the subway network you can save a lot of above-ground transportation by using sub.

Which is your favorite means of transport?
For me, it’s definitely my own legs. I walk by foot as much as possible.

Why?
In crowded cities when you need to reach not so far distances it is usually as much effective as public transportation – you can avoid problems with traffic, you can go shorter or not so overused ways. It’s quite effective means of transportation in overcrowded cities like Prague is as long as the distances are not way too far. Plus, you can get some pretty sightseeing as well as keep your condition up. And… the only thing you need is decent shoes.

Which means of transport do you use usually?
All sorts of public transport.

Why do you use it?
I hate looking for parking lots – although I really like driving cars.

Which is your favorite means of transport?
Cars – I really love them, although I’m not addicted to a brand.

Why?
Because I’m independent. I can go wherever I want. I don’t have to think about bus scedules or connections… that’s great.
Therefore I decided to write a love letter to my first car – I will never forget my Golf Rabbit.

Which means of transport do you use usually?
I prefer to take the car.

Why do you use it?
For me, a car is the most comfortable way to get around (and I often have to take my heavy laptop and book case…). I don’t like the public transport, because of the waiting times and the recurring technical breakdowns.

Which is your favorite means of transport?
I love my car. For the moment I am driving a diesel vehicle, but since I am aware of the CO₂ problems, I am saving some money for a hybrid or electro car. Well yes…I am familiar with the fact that it does not solve all the environmental problems, but I guess this will be a starting point into a new century.

Why?
As I already explained it is the most comfortable way to get around. Plus I feel more flexible with a car – it gives me the feeling of autonomy.
