This wallpaper gives us a perfect example of how a simple manga scan can be turned into a beautiful vector. Not only did danalm trace the lineart, but he also added amazing details and a simple, yet wonderful background. Furthermore, the wallpaper shows us how the monochromatic style can make your work look really interesting.

How often do you take the public transport to somewhere that you want to go?

If I am not going anywhere too far from my uni or home, then I usually drive. However, if I were to go to the city, I usually take the light rail transit (sort of like subway trains, just only on the surface and not underground). I don't like taking the taxi as the price that they charge are kind of steep and buses are packed like sardines. Another reason why I don't take buses and taxis to the city is due to the traffic. If there's no other choice, then I'll take the bus which costs only a few cents.

Plus, taxis and buses ain't really safe at night. Go on a taxi on a wrong day and you get robbed or raped if you are a female. Such cases have happened before.

I'll take the train when I have to go down into the city (mainly because driving and parking down there is a nightmare), but most of the time it's easier just to get in my car and drive myself where I need to go. I've never been a fan of taxis, just too expensive for short trips.

I usually walk to everywhere.. Which isn't a lot of places because I don't have anywhere to go, so that wouldn't really count now would it?

I really haven't taken an public transportation but this coming September, I don't really have a choice but to use the bus to get to school. Although it is an express bus that will take me to a different university directly and getting to the pick up location is about the same walking distance as to my current school or university..

I use the train and occasionally the bus but I really hate busses, they're filthy and smelly and never on time, they're overpriced too. At least most of the trains are clean that I get on.

If the public transportation were better in my city I would definitely use it, but because it sucks I rarely ever do. I almost always drive, for the sake of time and convenience. I don't think we have a big enough public transit system for my city, and frankly I wish they would instead of just making the freeways bigger <!--emo&-_---><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sleep.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sleep.gif' /><!--endemo-->.

I walk. In the city it's usually BART or a taxi. Ain't no way I'm getting on buses.

There are only buses around here and those are just the university buses running around from time to time. I barely use the bus.

And where I live... Public transportation does not run there. If you want to go somewhere, you drive.

I'd take either the bus or subway I guess. Taxis are too expensive.
Public transportation is practical in the city, such as HK and cities in Japan. Gotta love the subway.

Same as Dias...light rail transit maybe will be a good option for me too when choosing between buses and taxies. But sometime while riding on those subway train you might also encountered sardines packing in it. I experienced it one time when it was festive season and everyone seems to go for the light rail transit and I was so dumb to be packed like a fresh nice sardines. But for me taxies and buses would be a last choice for me since taxi are charging high and some of the buses too looks very dirty.

Last night I had a dream that I paid a taxi driver $200 to take me a few miles. I mean... I don't even <i>use</i> dollars...

Then when I got there I had to just come back again...

And there was a notable lack of foxy European arch-villains...

Now that I come to think of it, it didn't <i>nearly</i> match up to my usual dream calibre.

Maybe it wasn't your dream! :shock:

Well, admitedly, I never took public transit in the states. Not even for going to school. But currently, it's the only thing I use. And I hate it. Too crowded on buses generally. And buses are so bad, they turn off when going downhill. Not once, but 8 times. Sure, it's the same bus, but you'd think they would have cycled it out by now...
