Earthling public transport

A few things I noticed about Earthling public transportation. There are three modes. Taxis, buses and trains. And for them all, there is a certain waiting time. On taxis, you have to wait by the side of the road and wave at the drivers. For the trains and buses, you have to wait for them to come and then board, stopping at every station until you reach your own stop.

 I myself had my first trip on the earthling main mode of transportation, the train. And it was  crowded. I hardly had space to move. I had to stand very still, hitting someone whenever the train jerked and I caught myself thinking of the teleporting machine back home on my planet. No long minutes of waiting, no bumps and no payment either. 

There was also a lot of noise in the trains. People, seemingly asleep with headphones cranked up to full volume was audible even a few meters away from themselves. So many functions, like a device to talk to the driver was available too. But since nobody was using it, I decided that I would not either. Besides, a bold "2000" was printed there and I decided that it was safer to just leave it be. 

One thing I learnt from my ride in the train, is to use my teleportation device if I had to travel. Earthling public transport was too troublesome. 

But maybe, I would try the taxi next time. I would be alone in it and it should be much more comfortable than taking the trains and buses.
