Whats the most common transportation method?

Okay, so like, what’s the way most people actually get around?

Globally, yeah, the most common road vehicle, especially if you’re talking about developed countries, is def the automobile. Wheeled passenger things with motors, you know? Cars.

But my experience? It’s a mixed bag. I lived in London for a bit. Seriously, trains and the Tube all the way. Trying to drive there? Fuggetaboutit. (Plus, parking cost more than my rent, almost). 20 pounds a day, easy!

Now, back home, different story. Car. Absolutely. No choice unless I fancy a two-hour bus ride to get milk.

And, I mean, thinking about folks I know… it is usually a car, isn’t it? But more and more, friends in cities are ditching ’em for bikes and scooters. Seen that a lot since, say, 2020. Kinda depends where you are, I guess, like everything else.

What was the most common mode of transportation?

The car. My car.

Seventy-two percent, huh?

Sounds right.

I guess I am not alone in driving everywhere.

Just like my mom.

It’s almost…sad, isn’t it?

We’re so isolated, even when we’re moving.
So much traffic. It’s my biggest stress.
I just think about the money I spend.
Gas, insurance, repairs… it adds up.
Maybe I should move somewhere more walkable.

I wonder if my grandpa ever felt this way about his truck.

What is the most common method of transportation in Brazil?

Road transportation dominates Brazil. Highway BR-116 stands out.

It’s the key artery. BR-116 is vital for moving goods. What is development without movement?

BR-101 trails behind. It runs along the coast. I drove part of it in 2023; the views, whoa!

Roads carry most cargo.
Buses connect cities.
Air travel remains niche, costly.

Brazil’s vast geography poses challenges. Infrastructure investment is key. I always think: where would we be without roads?

Which is the cheapest mode of transport in Brazil?

Uber… or 99.

Yeah.

Guess it depends.

Ridesharing is cheapest.

Always checking both apps for the better fare.

Safe late at night, they say. Still feel uneasy sometimes. Safer than taxis, for sure. Taxis, ugh, those airport prices… robbery.

Used Uber in São Paulo. Even in smaller cities like Campinas. Easier to find a ride.

Funny, I preferred buses, actually.

Why I Preferred Buses

Cheaper… like, really cheap.
More of an adventure, you know? Seeing the real Brazil.
Met interesting people.
Buses are for sure the cheapest, but maybe only during the day.
Safety on buses late at night isn’t assured.

Ridesharing wins for sheer convenience.
