Believe the hype....

...about the transportation here...it is terrific. Trains and buses and trams(I haven't ridden the tram yet, but I hope to do so soon), on time and they arrive often...actually, I am just assuming they are on time, bc I haven't looked at a schedule, but in any case, there is another one arriving in ten minutes, so it doesn't matter. I am very impressed with the system here...at first, I thought it worked on the honor system, bc you don't have to go through a turnstile at the station with a ticket, but apparently they have random ticket searches and fine you heavily if you don't have one. Anyway, I have a ticket and it is very nice. This red train is a double decker(actually, it has three levels, but the first two are split, so I don't count that as a triple decker) with big windows, and it is very cool.
