Public transportation rocks

I have never owned a car in my life. There are a few reasons for that. First, when I was living outside a city I couldn't afford it, and second, when I moved into a city I didn't need it.

I do have a driving license. Well sorta. Long story, tell you another time.

When I moved into my current flat I was offered to buy a garage. I politely declined (no car, no garage needed) and also 'cause it cost 40,000 francs. I felt I could use that money for better things. Now I read about new flats being built, where garages are offered for 65,000. But still, nobody would buy a garage in a building they don't live in, so still think I made the right decision.

Anyway, public transportation rocks. At least in Zürich. I even stopped looking at timetables, no need since the trams/trains/buses go all the time.

And I suppose I could walk. Exercise...yes, I've heard of it before!
