Public transport near me. Choosing a vehicle: when and which one is more convenient to drive?

Ask people on the street whether they prefer to travel by bus or train, and you'll be surprised at how different opinions vary. And not only because people are different and each has their own priorities. The preference for one or another method of transportation depends not only on the pros (or cons) vehicle, but also on a specific life situation.

When is the best time to travel by train?

When it comes to long distances, more than 60% of potential passengers prefer to travel by train. What is the rationale behind the choice?

• More comfortable conditions - you can lie down fully, stretch your legs, walk around, you don’t have to wait for a stop to go to the toilet, etc.
• Precise arrival on schedule - a bus can get stuck in a traffic jam in summer, and in drifts in winter.
• Convenient scheduling. There are many night flights, which allow you not to waste valuable daytime time on the road, and you can also get a great night's sleep.
• They consider this type of transport safer.

But there are situations when not only distance determines the choice of transport. Ride around railway preferable in the following cases.

1. If you have too much luggage, according to the rules, you cannot take more than 2 pieces of luggage per person on the bus.
2. The highways in the desired direction are too congested and there is a high probability of traffic jams. And it’s not safe to drive along a congested highway.
3. The time factor is important. Usually, railway transport faster, especially if we're talking about about fast, branded or modern electric trains of the Sapsan type.
4. If you are traveling with a child. Children often get seasick on the bus; they do not like to sit still for a long time.
5. If you are traveling with a group, a compartment is more suitable for communication than the bus interior, where there is no place to be alone.
6. You have problems with the spine, joints - no matter how comfortable the chair is, your back gets tired in it, and your legs become numb.

Even such a harmless reason as being tall is a serious reason to choose the train. The distance between the front and rear seats on a bus is usually small, and tall man There's really nowhere to put your feet.

Advantages of traveling by bus

Distances up to 200 km are optimal for traveling by bus. Let's explain why.

If your destination is 150–200 km from you, then this is an intercity route and soft, comfortable cars are “placed” on it. On the railway, such distances are served by commuter trains and electric trains. Consequently, the comfort level on the bus is likely to be higher.

They choose this type of transport for other reasons.

1. Easier because they run more often than trains.
2. If the route is served by modern cars with all the amenities (soft spacious chairs, climate control, dry closet and other amenities), the distance does not matter.
3. Some people choose this type of transport because there are fewer people, there is no need to communicate with neighbors in the compartment, and no one encroaches on personal space.
4. The cost of the ticket plays an important role. In some cases it is cheaper to travel by bus, but the opposite can also happen.

In what cases is there no fundamental difference in how you get to your destination? When the distance is not scary, the class of service is comparable, and age and health do not interfere with travel.

In such situations, we choose a vehicle:

• where there are free places;
• which departs (arrives) at a convenient time;
• less time on the way;
• the ticket is cheaper.

The subjective factor is also present. Thus, some citizens choose the train to feel the romance of traveling under the soothing sound of wheels and to make new acquaintances. The bus is preferred by those who like silence and are not in the mood to communicate with neighbors.

For about the same amount you can get a ticket for a reserved seat carriage. fast train Moscow - St. Petersburg (1,559 rubles) and compartment trains “Yunost” (1,094 rubles), “Smena A. Betancourt” (1,367 rubles). You will get there faster - in about 8 hours. Other trains are more expensive, starting from approximately 2,300 rubles per compartment ticket.
