Interview the Person below you?

Everytime I look in the mirror :D

Paper book or e-book?

Sadly none of them lately. But I hate to read from a screen.

Do you read much?

Not too much, mostly just novels to pass the time. I only just started The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest, despite it being released several years ago :mark: .

(P.s. e-book for me)


Do you find your local public transportation works well?

It works OK for my needs and I am realistic about the services. However I used it quite rarely and thus it may not be good for people who have to use it every day.

I find though that often people are too quick to say things are run badly. As though the whole system should be perfect for them, I mean the infrastructure of railways and alike have to be the best for as many people as possible for a low cost. Some people seem to forget that.

When was the last time you went on a train?

August 2013 when I came back from a short holiday.

Do trains have long delays in your country?

Apart from in Auckland and Wellington that have short range commuters, we don't have any passenger trains.

do you drive to work or catch the bus/train/tram etc, or walk?

I usually take a municipal bus (hence my previous question :p: )


Is it expensive to park in your city's core?

Not in my City, three or four pounds sterling gets you 3 or 4 hours. Maybe 6 quid for a day. A carpark I go too in the centre of Town offers 2 hours free.

How long does it take you to get into the nearest city? (If you live in a City how long does it take to get across the City?)

From end to end New Plymouth is about 12-13km. I can walk it in 2 hours. At 'rush hour" it can take up to 45 minutes at times. The worst I have ever had was going from a school I was teaching at 2.5 km to the swim school I taught at, it was the Thursday before good Friday and it took me over an hour.

Would it be better to simply ban private cars from city centres?

I live in a city centre and banning cars meant nobody would come to see me. ( just kidding. most of my friends and relatives live in the same area. But it's hard when you need help that X can't come because their car is not allowed )

Can you live without your car?
