...With regards to public transport, nothing can beat the convenience of your own car. I would use public transport, if it was a viable option, but it's not. Not for me. I live in a rural village, and before everyone gets on my case saying "Ah well, that doesn't count". It does count. I and my family are part of the community and I am a memeber of the public, therefore I should be entitled to better 'public' transport. I am interested in the envirnment and such like, but I will not be put down for using my car. To me it is essential and vital to me and my family's life style. I'll give you some examples of me using public transport:- Where I live, I have a village store (too expensive for a weekly shop), a butcher shop, a pub and a post office. The bus service is one every hour. Not regular i.e on the hour, on the half... Read review

Advantages: child friendly, something for most people
Disadvantages: fairly static collection, a few pointless audio visuals

...Transport is in my blood. My father was a bus driver and is obsessed by most things that have wheels and moves. Trains, buses, cars, and lorries, you name it he has videos, books and models of them. I've caught the bug and become a bit of a London Underground junkie being fascinated by the history and development of this much maligned transport system. I have become such a geek I recently took a one day course on the Art and Architecture of London Transport. This was held in the subject for this review, the newly reopened London Transport Museum in Covent Garden. I have been to a number of Transport museum such as the tram museum at Critch and the Glasgow Transport Museum but the London one had so far eluded me. Housed in the old Victorian Ffower market the museum has had a 22.5 million face lift and relaunch. The museum... Read review

...Swiss Transport System Last year we went to Switzerland in May bank holiday. My Swiss experience has been unforgettable. You might think why did I wait so long for writing a review? Well, there is so much to write, I did not know where to start and where to finish. Two things I liked the most about Switzerland- Swiss transport and Swiss refuse disposal system. Well I do want to start writing about garbage first, so I will start with the transport system. The transport network consists of rail, buses, boats and cable cars- all accessed by one pass. The punctuality is beyond expectation- I am not sure if they set their clocks by train time or the other way round! When to book: ---------If you wish to visit Switzerland, its best to book before you go there. The travel centre in London is very helpful. You could look up over... Read review

...Like anyone located in England's capital city, I grew up travelling on London's Transport service. Its history (especially that which spanned my own period of usage from the early 1970s to the late 1980s) is as much a part of me as any other aspect of my life experiences. Long-term illness and a move to the countryside mean I no longer make journeys by public transport, but a keen sense of identification and fascination with the Underground train system in particular, remains. The London Underground has always seemed like a world within a world, a remarkable legacy of industrial achievements and architectural flair dating back to the late 19th century. Beneath a Victorian city, a labyrinth of interconnecting railroad tracks was burrowed in order to ease the congested streets above. Such a process, starting such a project from... Read review
