We visited friends in the country this weekend–it was lovely. Our time there made me realize how much I dislike riding in cars–perhaps as much as I imagine many loathe public transit.
This also made me think about my general transportation preferences. Here they are, ranked:
- Walking
- Cycling*
- Subway/Metro
- Tram**
- Boat
- Train
- Taxi
- Bus
- Car–driven by me
- Airplane
- Car–driven by most other (non-professional) people
Those last two really are in a tie for dead last in my book. But, sometimes you just have to grin and bear it.
* I rarely cycle these days, but I liked it when I did
** We don’t have trams in NYC, if we did, I’d rank them about equal to the subway
