    I think it depends on the city sometimes too. I found Tokyo amazing for public transport. Their metro system was the best I've seen. I like the free options and passes for tourists...just makes it a little easier. The scooters were really fun, but expensive for a one off thing... the passes are definitely better on that but you have to watch you don't go over 90 mins... so planning is key. Thanks for watching guys 👍

I would think your video would do well long term, many people are curious about transportation options and I really do think it is very helpful. That is actually a great suggestion 😁 We have had some comments asking about getting around. St Pete is in the process of adding a rapid transit bus system that will run between downtown and the beach. We are hoping to highlight that when it is up and running!

    I have some plans coming up and expecting having knowledge about the public transport options in how to get around, will be handy - not to mention helpful on my Brisbane Based blogs! I don't tend to use Public Transport much these days, but use to train it into Brisbane every day for work. It helped a lot knowing that first and the rest kind of falls into place. I didn't know about the See Q card until a month ago doing my research...very handy for visitors! Stunt Riding...LOL. We both enjoyed the Scooters - They are a new way to get around and very convenient compared to walking! Matt gets forced to help me film sometimes - It's great he can find some fun in it......it was definitely a long, tiring day to film it all. Thanks for watching Bernie !

    You right... there are plenty of walking and bike tracks around that area but more so follow the river and most people use them for exercise. What you're trying to do is cross the river and I don't see a way around that without biking on the road. Obviously, it can be done but not sure i would like it during busy Brisbane traffic. Where we you now and do you ride in traffic there all the time ?

    Are you talking about the public transport in general or a particular service? Overall, I think it's comparable to other aussie capital citys and still cheaper than hiring a car. Still, there are ways to make it cheaper using the free services or travelling out of busy work hours. It's almost half the cost during the day or on weekends :)

    don't go there, the only true way to understand a cities public transport is by it's trains as the rest are just subsidiary (trains carry much more), sorry but Brisbane has the worst: (Brisbane) Runcorn 30min / Sandgate 30 min (Melbourne) Batman 20min / Heidelberg 20min (Sydney) Punchbowl 15min / Warrawee 15min (Perth) Gosnells 15min / Butler 15min (no change, no express, middle of the day) (oh bus past my place(bris) one a hour) (busses are subject to need and fad - oh Perth busses work with the trains)
