You forgot one: regular trains. That's my favorite. In my country, they look like this:

In Switzerland, we don't have any subways because the cities are not terribly big and you can get around well with buses and trams and even by bike and walking. However, regular trains are extremely important here. Because the country is small and the space between individual cities smaller than in the US for example, many people live in one city and work in a different one. For example I live in one city but the university where I study at is located in a different city. So I commute every day back and forth. I like riding the train because it gives me some time to do quick homework-fixes that I forgot to do. Back in high school (I already commuted as a high school student), I sometimes used the time on the train to study French if I knew that we were going to have a vocab exam on that day. It saved me many a disastrous outcome ;-). And even there's nothing work-related to do, it's still nice to just look out the window and let the fields and forests pass by.
Riding trains in Switzerland is particularly enjoyable because we have one of the densest railroad systems in the world (you can get practically anywhere by train, even to some small, remote villages) and because, true to our stereotype, our trains are extremely punctual. If a train leaves 2 or more minutes later than it says on the screen, it's considered unusual and people get impatient ;-).

I like trains, but regular trains are usually not used as an urban form of public transport within one city, except maybe for some railbuses...
But I've heard that Switzerland has two Subways - Metro Alpin and Lausanne Metro:

Anyway, the most impressive Swiss trains are definitely mountain type of railway - also known as rack-and-pinion railway or cogwheel railway.
My personal favorite is Pilatus train, the steepest railway in the world: www.weedist.com/.../pilatus-3.jpg

I like Trolleybuses, but unfortunately - there aren't any in my city, so I prefer regular Buses, because they are cheaper compared to Taxi-Cabs.
Trams are usually very crowded.
Metro Trains, Suspension Railway and Monorails are cool, but these transport systems are still not present in my country :(

[Zorax]

Thanks for the MHO :D

[Lady7]

Airplane. I dont use public transportation unless there's no car at home. Well no not really, if there's no car at home I'd rather not go anywhere

[ImaginativeDreamer]

Why not?

[Lady7]

I prefer to use my car. Its more comfortable.

[bubbletrouble]

Given that I live in new York i should say taxi but I always drive. Then again I live in upstate. I read somewhere that most Germans dont drive.

[ImaginativeDreamer]

But New York also has Subway, isn't that much cheaper type of transport compared to taxi?

[bubbletrouble]

Yeah but the new York subway has had always had horror stories

[ImaginativeDreamer]

I see, ok, lol :P

[AzureGirl]

Is it sad that I've only ever been on one of these? (If you don't count a school bus!)

I've only ever been on a metro.

[ChocoLada]

My city has only buses and taxis, but I like Subway trains, trolleybuses and trams.

[ChocoLada]

Thank you :)

[HoodieGuy]

America needs to step their transportation game up real quick because we only have A D and G. Our train system isn't even that good either.

[ImaginativeDreamer]

Yeah, I agree

[Other_Tommy_Wiseau]

hanging train looks cool. what about a regular train? i've only been on a subway when i'm in new york. so i guess that.

[ImaginativeDreamer]

Yeah, hanging trains are really cool... but regular trains are usually not used as urban train (within one city), they are ordinarily inter-city/interurban or long distance trains.

[BrownBoyBrownies]

Bus even though it's so inefficient and shit. No choice, what's the other choice taxi? Expensive as fuck mane.

[ImaginativeDreamer]

What about Tramway, Trolleybus, Subway etc?

[BrownBoyBrownies]

Well in my city we only have bus and taxi. No other means :(

[ImaginativeDreamer]

Too bad :(

[musicbrain5]

Streetcar or subway. I voted B because I ride the streetcar almost everyday.

[rthomas43]

None.

Granted, the public transport in my area is fucking atrocious.

[ImaginativeDreamer]

Why, what's wrong, too slow, overly expensive or rude conductors?

[rthomas43]

It just isn't commonly used, so they're never on time and you're very limited with where you can go with public transport. Most people here just drive everywhere.

[ImaginativeDreamer]

Mhm, at least it's not crowded :P

[zombiebabe]

the one i use everyday... the bus

[ImaginativeDreamer]

You never use other types of public transport?

[zombiebabe]

as public transport we only have buses and taxis :/

[ImaginativeDreamer]

Oh, ok :)

[teawrecks]

I've only ever taken a taxi so...

[Complicated-Soul]

Taxi cab or bus or train

Taxi cab

[serious]

I prefer Train, metro train mode of transport.

[TatyanaTheEmpress]

Tramway is my favorite mode of transport :)

[lifes_curve_ball]

I usually take subway or bus.

[Anonymous]

Trolleybuses are the best :)

[dudeman]

trains because they tend to have more space.

[Likes2drive]

Monorail reminds me of Disney world😊

[apple24]

Bus all the way!

[ImaginativeDreamer]

Because it's the cheapest, right? :P

[apple24]

No because i use it everyday!

[ImaginativeDreamer]

You never use other types of public transport?

[apple24]

Nope just the bus

[ImaginativeDreamer]

Why not?

[apple24]

I only go to school N back

[ImaginativeDreamer]

Aren't you too old for school? :P

[apple24]

college

[ImaginativeDreamer]

Oh, ok :)

[apple24]

HAha...

[adamski24]

I do not use public transportation

[ImaginativeDreamer]

Why not?

[adamski24]

I don't mix with the general public.
I have my own car's and drivers as well as private jet

[ImaginativeDreamer]

Good for you :P

[adamski24]

I've been lucky in life aswell as having to work for it.
I didn't ask the bank of mum and dad for anything after the age of 18.

[ImaginativeDreamer]

You've won the lottery?

[adamski24]

No not the lottery just hard work from a young age I didn't want to rely on my parents for everything.

[ImaginativeDreamer]

Ok, I get that

[ShayanMortazavi1]

None, full of weirdos

[ImaginativeDreamer]

So you go by a bicycle or by foot?

[ShayanMortazavi1]

I have a car

[ImaginativeDreamer]
