This question is a bit skewed. It asks what our preferred method of transportation is...but then it says if we had the money for it. Because personally I like walking, biking and public transit. But if I had the free money to support it I'd buy a nice truck. (not an SUV, a real truck.) [addsig]

I own a Ford F-150 P/u truck. Guess I have been driving Pick ups for about 11 years now. I use them in my work and at my house for remodel purposes(Lumber, drywall, etc). The only drawback is that family members always call when they need something picked up.

I drive me a '90 F150. It's my father's, but with the cost of gas and the non-necessity of needing a truck, it's just there when I need it. I love it though, my dad's a carpenter/cabinetmaker so it gets used for lumber, furniture and the like. As well as garden duties. I think its nickname "The Beast" suits it well.

I'm in Adelaide and I use the bus. The bus system in Adelaide is good, provided you know how everything works. Theres a cool set of tracks, like... train tracks for buses, made of concrete... Gets me to the city centre in about half an hour where it would normally take 40min to an hour by car.

Fast Facts

  • At 12 kilometres long, the Adelaide O-Bahn is the longest and fastest guided bus service in the world.

  • More than 7 million passengers a year, including local, interstate and overseas visitors, use the O-Bahn. The system is capable of moving 18,000 people an hour in each direction.

  • The busway consists of 5,800 sleepers, 5,600 pylons drilled to a depth of 3 metres, 4,200 track pieces, 25 bridges, 8 pedestrian overpasses and a 60 metre-long tunnel.

  • Compared with equivalent rail systems, the O-Bahn is almost 50 per cent cheaper to operate while providing a faster, more flexible service than many other transit systems.

  • At the time of building, the entire O-Bahn project, (including the bus fleet) cost $98 million

I'd buy a yacht! It doesn't have to have a golf course or olympic-sized pool on it. Any old yacht will do.

ermm they do exist


more pics...

I live near Sydney and the public transport is terrible trains always run late (or not at all, sometimes replaced by busses), (and now the government says that 10min late is actually not late ) busses are not much better and in quite a state of disrepair, The light rail (tram) system howeve is quite good as well as the monorail. The government were deciding wether to build one of those mag-lev super fast trains linking Sydney to the South East Coast & Canberra region but now that is not going to happen

Ummm, there are ones that travel on land and ones that travel on water, but I guess one of the best features of them is that they can all basically travel on both!
