What he said, plus overland train into the centre of London.
I have a car, but it only really gets used for long distance journeys (visiting parents and stuff). Even then, I still sometimes use the train.
As someone who also lives in Portland (need to update sig) - We are blessed with pretty awesome public transit for a city our size. Not that it isn't occasionally a hassle...
The free-zone of Public Transit in the downtown district is pretty awesome, if you are just out and about and want to catch a ride...
Also, we have the FlexCar service here in town (fleet of shared vehicles subscribers can use and drop off around the city), and we are going to have one of the first bike programs in the US similar to those European programs mentioned previously in the thread - so it's nice to have options.
That said - in the winter/colder months, I still usually drive. In the warmer months I usually bike when I can, or sometimes walk - we're a pretty, and relatively small city.

Long Island Railroad and then the NYC Subway system...
Subway is pretty convenient for most of NYC.
I have a 2000 Mercedes Benz with 32,000 miles on it... What a waste...

here is chicago's map. could use some N/S out west, to link them together, but for the most part it works very well:

They're still debating the Circle Line which would link all the lines out west FYI.
oh i know, and i think we could surely use it at this point.
How about it? Especially with the construction on the brown and red lines.
Twice a day, five days a week. I live in NJ and commute to NYC. I take NJ Transit (which is the innermost ring of hell) and then I hop on the subway. My commute varies, but it's around an hour each way. I don't complain, it's a quiet ride an I have a huge apartment on the beach for 1/4 the price of a Manhattan matchbox.
I use public transport a lot, as my college is in central London.
It takes me about an hour to get to college (Norbiton > Clapham Junction > Victoria > South Kensington), and 45 minutes to get home (South Kensington > Victoria > Vauxhall > Norbiton).
Only £20 a week, too.

Did you just say 'only £20 a week'?? I hope there's some healthy sarcasm involved there
. On average, that's more than I spend on my car.Did you just say 'only £20 a week'?? I hope there's some healthy sarcasm involved there
Well I thought £20 was cheap for unlimited travel within zones 1 - 5 in London for a whole week anyway. And it normally would be £40, but I get it half price because I'm a student.
Great googly-moogly...I have heard that England has become a bit spendy, but I had no idea...do you guys get paid enough to deal with it? Salaries in France are dreadfully low compared to the US, but my expenses are so much lower here that it works out pretty good.
