    Lol ohhh, this is a tough one :p I went with tram just because it was really cool, the few times I've been on one. But coaches and buses are also awesome, and so are trains - so it was hard to pick.

    Definitely bus/coach.

    Coach travel is affordable for me and has some perks!

    Train. I find there is more space on a train and just overall a nicer experience. Also, I find the view to be quite scenic compared to when I'm travelling on a bus. Then again, I've not tried other modes of transport :p

    I prefer trains because they're so much faster but voted busses because where i'm from there is not a train station near me, so i'm stuck with the unreliable bus service which is awful at peak times  :'(

    However, when I was younger I used to be so scared of them for things like if I was to fall in front of one if the wind blew, getting stuck with someone scary in a carriage, or not knowing what stop would be mine and ending up in a different city. I've conquered my fear now though B)

    Omg, same I live with an bus service that hasn't been less than 30 minutes late and my nearest train station is 5 miles away

    I voted for bus/coach only because it's nearest to me. But I prefer the train or Tube train because it's much faster!

    Love this thread!

    It depends where I am. I prefer getting the bus in London short distances. Usually I get the underground so it's nice to change it up when I can and see outside! But then I prefer getting the train if I'm going long distances because I hate traffic! 


    Maybe somethings don't get better, but we do. We get stronger. We learn to live with our situations as messy and ugly as they are. We fix what we can and we adapt to what we can't. Maybe some of us will never fully be okay, but at least we're here. We're still trying. We're doing the best we can. That's worth celebrating too ❤

    Train for me, I live in a small town, and sometimes I will get the bus but most times I walk to places I need to go, I walk to and from work, but if I am going out of the town, I will get a train to places I am going. :)
