[adapted from https://www.mappingmegan.com/choosing-different-modes-transport-traveling/] Choosing between different modes of transport when traveling Walking Many cities are pedestrian-friendly, and so long as you set yourself up in an accommodation near the city center, you can usually reach most nearby top attractions quite comfortably. Most popular cities also offer up organized walking tours which are free. Cycling The great thing about biking is that it’s suitable for most ages so long as you’re relatively fit, and you can easily ride with small children and even pets in tow. Driving There are a few cons of hiring a vehicle such as it being expensive, especially when you consider the added insurance, fuel, and parking costs. You may have to quickly get used to driving on the opposite side of the road and decipher road signs written in another language and you may need to book a rental far in advance for popular destinations during peak season. Renting a vehicle is, however, one of the most comfortable ways to travel in terms of privacy and allowing you the freedom to travel at your own pace without restrictive timetables. There is no rubbing shoulders with strangers and it’s much easier to carry shopping back to your hotel. Planes Flying may be one of the most expensive ways to travel, but in many cases it’s actually not that bad and if you consider your time as money. Comfort is usually pretty good on most airlines, and Business/First-Class seats and service can be downright amazing. Plane travel is also extremely safe, with crashes and other accidents being extremely rare thanks to meticulous checks before flights. You are far more likely to get injured or die on the roadways. Buses They can often be jam-packed and may be lacking air conditioning and bathrooms, even on long haul routes. Short bus journeys around town on public buses may be bearable and hop-on-hop-off buses can be fun at times, but overnight sleeper buses can sometimes be brutal despite being able to recline and saving on paying for a night’s accommodation. Trains Of course, train travel comforts and overall experiences can vary greatly depending on where you’re traveling and which class ticket you have. You may be rewarded with exceptional scenery from a luxurious rail carriage complete with fine dining, or may be stuck sleeping on an uncomfortable seat that doesn’t recline eating a bag of chips you packed yourself. |
