I was expecting it to be a bit dog-eat-dog on Melbourne's crowded system but peak hour travelers are invariably polite and courteous. Those few days where I drive give some variety. Nice to mix it up a bit, isn't it?Lad Litterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17888240712204499841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9218017137310902714.post-57252687199531005912010-08-04T02:57:25.949-04:002010-08-04T02:57:25.949-04:00Hi M!

Public transportation and hoofing it were basically our only means of transportation. (Too poor for cabs.) You're so right about the energy and connection. I have a quick commute by car now, about 10 minutes, or a few seconds if I'm working in my home office. But it is kind of isolating. Getting out there with the masses is exhilarating, and I hope that the next place I live has great public transportation and an exceptional walkscore.Patty - Why Not Start Now?http://whynotstartnow.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9218017137310902714.post-60158332965796781982010-08-02T19:26:02.264-04:002010-08-02T19:26:02.264-04:00Hi TE, I go to Washington, DC sometimes for work a...Hi TE, I go to Washington, DC sometimes for work and I admit to loving the energy there. Walking seems to be the best way to get around (cabs are always restricted from ever-chaging zones) which is a nice change of pace to my office life. New York has a similar vibe with a more artsy, less political feel. The novelty of being on foot all the time and sightseeing alogn the way -- what a great way to feel alive and one with many.Belinda Munoz + The Halfway Pointhttp://thehalfwaypoint.net/noreply@blogger.com
