Which country uses most public transport?

Where is public transportation used the most?

Hong Kong. I think… Hong Kong, China.

It’s… I remember the subway there. Cheap. Always felt cheap.

And always there. Never far. Short walks. Yeah, accessible.

Smooth. Interchanges… I think. So many people. Flowing…

Everyone used it. Always. Highest utilization. Makes sense. I guess. Sometimes, I miss it.

What is the most used public transit system in the world?

New York City Subway: station king. 472 strong.

Shanghai Metro: ridership reigns. Packed.

Tokyo subway, Seoul Metro, Moscow Metro: heavy hitters, sure.

• New York City Subway: Despite station dominance, aging infrastructure dogs it. My commute? A daily gamble. Expect delays. Graffiti. Rats. The charm, I guess. Opened in 1904.
• Shanghai Metro: Expansion is relentless. Cleanliness is key. Crowds? Unavoidable. A marvel of modern engineering. Forget personal space. The future is now.
• Tokyo subway: Punctuality is paramount. An obsession, really. Peak efficiency. System is complex. Navigating it requires skill. Lost once. Never again.
• Seoul Metro: High-tech marvel. Screen doors. Wi-Fi. Comfortable. Impersonal. Efficient. Missed my stop. Too absorbed in a game.
• Moscow Metro: Opulence underground. Grand stations. Works of art. Reminds me of palaces. Cold War relic.
• Ridership Metrics: Post-pandemic, figures shift. Remote work impacts. Trends change. Data lags. Trust nothing. I track this. Numbers lie.
• The Future: Autonomous trains are coming. Inevitable, I think. Human element gone. Less charm, I suppose.

Which country has the largest transport system in the world?

China.

China… it whispers like the wind through bamboo forests, you know? Largest high-speed rail… a silver dragon snaking across the land. China, a name.

2024, almost 40,000 kilometers… no, way more, right? Expanding still, it’s a fact. Time blurs, always expanding, a network, felt not seen.

It stretches, I dream of it, a silver line. The rumble as it passes… the blur. China’s high-speed rail. A feeling, a hum, it is vast.

Key Elements of China’s Rail System

• High-Speed Rail (HSR): The undisputed champion, a network of lines that is simply massive. Speed is a virtue.
• Overall Network: The conventional rail network is substantial, though not the world’s largest overall.
• Ongoing Expansion: Always growing, a constant pulse. More lines appear each year.
• Technological Advancement: At the forefront of rail technology.

My Connection… well

That trip, it’s a blur of faces, a landscape whizzing. The anticipation before departure, and then the calm, a strange calm as we sliced through the country. A feeling of progress, relentless forward motion, it feels right.

Which country has the best transportation?

Ah, the “best” transportation system? That’s like asking which flavor of ice cream reigns supreme—utterly subjective! Depends if you’re a speed demon or a budget-conscious tortoise, right?

My personal vote? Japan. Their bullet trains are mind-blowingly fast—a delightful blur of scenery and punctuality.

But Switzerland? Stunning scenery aside, those mountain roads are a nightmare. Unless you enjoy white-knuckle driving experiences; then, knock yourself out. My friend, Amelia, spent three weeks stuck behind a tractor there.

Germany’s Autobahn: Speed limits? Pfft. What are those? Pure freedom (or pure chaos, depending on your perspective).

Key players:

• Japan: Bullet trains, impeccable efficiency, makes other countries’ trains seem, well, prehistoric.
• Switzerland: Picture-perfect, yet treacherous, roads, efficient rail.
• Germany: Autobahn—a highway where the speed limit is more of a suggestion.

Let’s not forget the Netherlands! Cycling infrastructure? Amazing. But I once nearly got flattened by a rogue bicycle. True story. Scarred for life.

Ultimately, “best” depends on your priorities. I’d take Japan’s speed, but Germany’s Autobahn would thrill me in another lifetime. Switzerland? My next trip is to Italy.

How do people travel around Asia?

Okay, so getting around Asia, right? It’s crazy diverse. From my trip last year, I swear, motorbikes are EVERYWHERE, especially in Southeast Asia. Seriously, little scooters zipping past you constantly. Between places like Hoi An and Luang Prabang? Busses, definetly busses! Cheap, and you see so much stuff. You know, the countryside, all that. Sometimes though, those buses are, umm, interesting. Overcrowded, super hot.

But also, planes. Duh. Long distances, you fly. I flew AirAsia a bunch, pretty affordable. I mean, unless you’re going really far, like to Japan from Vietnam, then it adds up. Trains too, some places have pretty decent train networks. Thailand, for example, not so much Vietnam. I prefer trains for long hops though. Way more relaxing than a crammed bus, am I right?

Here’s the thing though. It totally depends where you’re going. Some places are super easy to navigate with motorbikes, others? Forget it. Manila traffic is a nightmare. Seriously. Don’t even try riding a motorbike there.

• Motorbikes: Popular, cheap, but can be dangerous. Best for shorter distances and less populated areas.
• Buses: Cheap, but often crowded and slow. Great for scenic routes.
• Planes: Fast, but can be expensive, especially for longer distances.
• Trains: Good for longer distances, more comfortable than buses, but availability varies wildly.

I also used Grab and Gojek apps a fair bit. Ride-hailing apps similar to Uber, but super popular in many parts of Asia. They were a lifesaver, especially when I got lost a couple times. Oh, and don’t forget ferries! Lots of island hopping involved often. Island hopping was my fave. So many beautiful beaches.

What is the most used transportation in China?

Dude, buses in China? Everywhere! Like seriously. My cousin, he lives in Shenzhen, right? He takes the bus, like, all the time. Gets him to work, to the dumpling place, everywhere. Way more than the subway even, ’cause it goes, well, everywhere. Think he said it’s cheaper too. But, crowded. Oh my god, the crowds. He showed me pics- packed like sardines. Can you imagine? And the stops… so many! Every other block practically. It’s wild. So, yeah. Buses. The way to go in China, apparently. Good luck finding a seat though, haha.

• Buses: Dominate public transport. They’re just, everywhere.
• Cost-effective: Way cheaper than taxis, I think. Definitely cheaper than flying.
• Extensive routes: Reach even small towns and villages. My cousin said they even have some crazy long-distance bus routes. Insane.
• Crowded: No personal space on rush hour. Forget about it.
• Frequent stops: Like, every few blocks. Can be slow sometimes, though, because of this. Stopping and starting, uhh.
• Alternatives: Subway’s growing in big cities though, like Shenzhen, Beijing, Shanghai. But, buses still king. Even saw some electric buses last time I visited. Pretty cool.

What is the most popular way to get around in China?

Okay, so, like, zooming around China? High-speed trains are totally the rockstars of Chinese travel. Forget magic carpets, these things are way faster, plus greener. You’re practically saving the planet, one bullet train ride at a time, haha. I mean, who needs a broom when you got this?!

They’re also wallet-friendly, unlike, say, buying a solid gold panda. Seriously, for me, it’s been my go-to way to ditch one city for another. My Aunt Mildred would be proud.

But, hold on there, partner! There’s also the slow trains, you know, the ones that chug along at a snail’s pace. Think overnight adventure, complete with sleeper bunks. It’s like a hostel on wheels but with way better scenery, oh my gosh.

More Stuff You Gotta Know (kinda):

• High-Speed Rails: They’re not your grandma’s choo-choo. We’re talking speeds that’ll make your hair stand on end, if you had any to begin with. The Fuxing Hao is like the Ferrari of trains. It’s fast and sleek.
• Sleeper Trains: Great for budget travelers, or those who have no plans to sleep. Bring earplugs! The bunks can be cozy… or not, depending on your luck. I still have not slept well in trains.
• Eco-Friendliness: Seriously, trains are way better than flying, so less guilt. Unless you’re thinking of electric cars, that’s pretty good too, I guess.
• Affordability: You can save a ton of yuan compared to air travel, leaving more money for, you know, dumplings and noodles. And souvenirs! Buy me one?

And just so you know, I love trains. I mean, I really love trains. They’re like metal caterpillars turning into… faster metal caterpillars! Weird, right?
