    Yes, and it sounds like angels . Don't have a favourite song, I think it's usually the last song I heard on the radio.

    Is the public transit in your city fairly reliable (are the busses/trains on schedule; are they clean and comfortable)?

    In my current location, yes. although the trains seem to have a habit of delays for no apparent reason especially when you are in a hurry

    The city I have lived most of my life? horrible buses, plenty but crowded/unreliable/uncomfortable - mostly. Things are getting better but not fast enough. We have a plan approved for metro but I don't think it will happen soon. Traffic is horrendous and we need the underground metro in reality.

    same question? Also what's your favourite type of public transport?

    The buses are never on time, but as it's nominally every 20 minutes it's not too long to wait. Despite their reputation the trains on my London commuter route aren't too bad - but when something goes wrong no member of staff has the faintest idea what.s happening.
    My favourite? The river bus - I use it so rarely I'm like a tourist.

    Do you think public transport should be free of [direct] charge?

    No. But it should not be too costly either.

    Weekdays, not much as I usually take public transit to work.
    Weekends, it depends on what the family plans are (I often don't have a say in the matter ).

    My "daily driver" car is three years old and it has only ~22,000 kms on the odometer.


    Does your city/town have many dedicated bicycle lanes?

    A few of them. Problem is, pedestrians are clueless. When riding a bile you need to watch out for a granny or a kid or anybody else to step in your way right in front of you

    How safe is it to cross the road in your town?

    It ranges from very safe to taking your life into your hands even if being careful. The city I live in is a large area of land that has very rural and some very congested areas as well.


    Do you think pedestrian bridges help in congested areas?

    Depending on people's civilization. In my country people would continue to cross the.road like they used to do.
    Besides, it's difficult for those who are old, have luggage, disabilities, baby carriers, etc.

    Have you ever had a video chat session with an unknown woman?

    Yes, and she broke my heart. She came from a donor agency and she said she wouldn't fund our projects.

    Have you ever had a blind date?
