After crossing half the state today i noticed that victotia has many modes of transport ....

in the city alone we have ...

Electric Trains, diesel trains, trams, wind powered trams, buses, taxi's, bikes, bike taxi's, motorbikes, planes, helicopters, boats, private cars and the occasional horse and cart...

i wonder what is your mode of transport, and why ? and what do you have in your state/ capital city ?

we also have natural gas powered buses and I think there's a hybrid bus running around.

SF rocks in that regard - the buses are either hybrid or electric.

Wind powered trams?

um..? we have "shitty rail"

Don't try to compare Melbourne and Sydney, especially transportation.

Water used to be good, but then the ferries started to ram in to the piers...and occasionally a boat or two. The buses are late and over crowded, and the cars don't have places to park. We don't have lanes for cyclists. The taxis stink, the pavements aren't swept properly (unless there a catholic church event in town) and yes, the 'shitty rail'. It smells like that, not regular but somehow...it feels like heaven when it's over and done with!

Ah, OK. I was beginning to think that the trams had sails and rigging for while there...

hehee

They'd probably go faster with sails.

I was thinking they just hooked up each passenger analy and let them all fart their way to work.

Lol! Funny!!!
My modes of transportation are legs, trains and the occaisonal bus... I'm lucky that I don't experience the full peak-hour sardine effect... I usually travel just before or after the main squeeze - it helps that I live at a 'major' train station so I can catch express trains.
