Underground

Let me tell you about public transportation. It’s basically incredible. I wish Nashville was big enough for a legit Subway system, alas, it is not. If it was, I would be on the subway ALL THE TIME.

It’s so easy. You buy a ticket, and find the rail you need and the direction you need to go. You wait a little while, and BAM, you’re super close to your destination. It’s cheap, it’s easy, and there’s something just so comforting about the lull of the rail.

 

Cons:

Pickpockets have easy jobs on Subways, with it being such a cramped environment.

That lull I was talking about? Yeah, if you’re tired, stand up, or else you’ll fall asleep.

If you catch the wrong rail going the wrong way, you’re screwed. It could take up to an hour for you to get to your destination for turning around and jumping rails.

If you’re not too distracted, unlike my flighty self, these cons shouldn’t be too much of a problem. Jessica, Mackenzie, Mrs. Walker, and myself had a day to ourselves in the great city of Paris, and we mastered the metro (or the Tube – as the British call it) all by ourselves! We were so proud! We rewarded ourselves with hot chocolate, but that’s yet another story.
