The Honor System







Chris asked what the public transportation system was like.

Its a really well organized system of above ground Trams and Busses. They are all over the city, and are usually pretty crowded. Everybody seems to either use Public Transportation or ride their bikes. You even see a lot of women on their way to work on their bikes in skirts and high heels!!!! I guess that is a pretty major commitment to going green (^_^)

The Trams get their power from wires that run above the cars. Since there are so many, it kind of looks like the city is covered in black spider webs.

But the super weird part is that even though you buy a paper ticket, nobody EVER checks it and there isnt any sort of reader by the entry way.... its all based on the honor system!!!!!
Can you imagine if New York was like that?
Its inconceivable.
