:( The closest train station is closed.
But that's okay because I can take a bus to the next one.

There used to be a line running between Manchester and Rochdale through my town, but they closed that last year to build trams.

Apparently they're building trains for the north half of the city. Yayy.

Trams? That is amazing!

No it isn't. It's rubbish. They're slow, take longer to get to the city centre and will cost more. It took me 20 minutes and cost me £3 to get a return before, now I have to pay £4.20 for a bus daysaver which takes almost an hour to get to the city. Trams won't be done until 2014, and I certainly won't be living here in 2014.

Do your tram drivers/bus drivers actually care about tickets? Or will they just give you a free ride if asked?
Your trains have rather high security, though...It's odd.

Where will you be?

I haven't ridden a tram for almost 10 years, so I don't know. You buy a ticket from the driver when you get on the bus, or present him with your day ticket. They used to do returns which gave you two journeys but they stopped them in my area. Drivers are miserable. Sometimes they'll let you on if they don't have change, but there are always a few wankers who just won't let you get on the bus.

What do you mean, 'high security'?

And either in Staffordshire, Bedfordshire, Reading or Amsterdam.

Public transportation has trolled Michigan simply by not even existing here.

Ah. Do you have passes? Like, a card that you can buy which will get you any amount of rides for a month?

I mean how there's the thing at train stations, where you have to punch in your ticket or your Oyster card to get through.
Here, there are machines where you can buy a ticket but then you can walk right past them, and you just go down the stairs and there's the trains...
Sometimes there are people who'll check if you have a ticket, but it's rare.
