Do you carpool or use public transportation options?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:I often go by train because I’m not allowed to drive yet :) However, once I get my driver’s license I’ll still be taking the train mostly because it’s better for the environment and because you don’t really need to be focused. If part of the journey is by bus, however, and I haven’t travelled that route before, then I’ll probably prefer driving myself because I hate riding the bus not knowing were to get out. That really needs to be improved here in the Netherlands. The trains could use some work too, but at least you don’t get lost there. Oh, and of course, being Dutch, I use my bicycle a lot, because it’s easier, gets you fresh air and keeps you in good shape. Especially the last one is important to me, I guess.
