They are pros. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-taken-public-transpo-before/page/2#post-2493442 Sun, 13 Mar 2016 14:44:09 +0000 meganmp 2493442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Buses, trains, ferries, water taxis, and planes (do planes count?). So much easier than driving! I'm so glad we live in a place this is possible- especially the ferries, which they adore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-taken-public-transpo-before/page/2#post-2493411 Sun, 13 Mar 2016 12:55:29 +0000 LovelyPlum 2493411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, all the time when she was little. But, it isn't great here, so it was a PITA. I haven't had to since DH got his new job last January. I'm grateful! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-taken-public-transpo-before/page/2#post-2492985 Sat, 12 Mar 2016 12:35:38 +0000 Applesandbananas 2492985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@avivoca: DH has taken it a couple times, he's from an area that has a better public transit system so when he first moved here, he was all about it... Until he actually got on a bus. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-taken-public-transpo-before/page/2#post-2492971 Sat, 12 Mar 2016 11:50:22 +0000 avivoca 2492971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Applesandbananas: They aren't too bad. The only one that was too gross was the #4 bus. </p> <p>No, but public transit in town is not convenient. I took the bus for jury duty and it was okay, except for the aforementioned #4 bus. That one I'm pretty sure someone peed in it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-taken-public-transpo-before/page/2#post-2492937 Sat, 12 Mar 2016 10:08:28 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2492937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sort of? Shuttles and planes yes but dd has only taken a train for a field trip. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-taken-public-transpo-before/page/2#post-2492876 Sat, 12 Mar 2016 08:08:40 +0000 NavyRN2012 2492876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I've never lived anywhere with public transportation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-taken-public-transpo-before/page/2#post-2492872 Sat, 12 Mar 2016 07:36:31 +0000 Truth Bombs 2492872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! Plane, NJ transit, and NYC subway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-taken-public-transpo-before/page/2#post-2492868 Sat, 12 Mar 2016 07:05:11 +0000 yin 2492868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, but only when we're traveling. I should take them on the bus for fun, but it's so inconvenient when we stay local. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-taken-public-transpo-before/page/2#post-2492829 Sat, 12 Mar 2016 01:39:35 +0000 hellobeeboston 2492829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes!!! LO is obsessed with the train, we ride it semi often with him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-taken-public-transpo-before#post-2492826 Sat, 12 Mar 2016 01:24:10 +0000 birdofafeather 2492826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, DD1 has been on planes, buses, trains and DD2 has been on a bus. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-taken-public-transpo-before#post-2492754 Fri, 11 Mar 2016 22:37:39 +0000 arosebyany 2492754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There is no public transportation where I live. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-taken-public-transpo-before#post-2492659 Fri, 11 Mar 2016 20:57:09 +0000 maddyz 2492659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We live in NYC and take public transit (bus, train, ferry) all the time. LO took the train for the first time at 4 days old to get blood drawn. It was one stop and so much less stressful then putting the carseat in a cab for a less then one mile ride. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-taken-public-transpo-before#post-2492604 Fri, 11 Mar 2016 19:58:23 +0000 misolee 2492604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only on vacation.</p> <p>We are suburbanites and public transportation is only available for inside the city. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-taken-public-transpo-before#post-2492584 Fri, 11 Mar 2016 19:43:31 +0000 Applesandbananas 2492584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, the buses in our city are nasty and quite scary. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-taken-public-transpo-before#post-2492578 Fri, 11 Mar 2016 19:37:50 +0000 mrsjyw 2492578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, taxis, subway, bus...during our travels and our visits to NYC and Chicago to see family and friends! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-taken-public-transpo-before#post-2492399 Fri, 11 Mar 2016 16:41:45 +0000 BKCaribBaby 2492399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She asks to ride the subway all the time. We use public transportation since we have no car. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-taken-public-transpo-before#post-2492398 Fri, 11 Mar 2016 16:39:46 +0000 Ree723 2492398@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Loads of times! One of their favourite things to do is take the train in to London to see Daddy at work! DD1 used to ride buses with me all the time, but then we moved to an area that was more walking friendly and stopped taking the bus as much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-taken-public-transpo-before#post-2492356 Fri, 11 Mar 2016 16:02:30 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2492356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. Public transportation is our preferred means of transport :happy: She's loves riding at the top of a double-decker bus and we always take the train whenever we go to the airport. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-taken-public-transpo-before#post-2492349 Fri, 11 Mar 2016 15:55:21 +0000 Mamaof2 2492349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>not yet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-taken-public-transpo-before#post-2492345 Fri, 11 Mar 2016 15:53:32 +0000 jhd 2492345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't have any where we live. But he's been on a bus, train, and plane this week while on vacation. Toddler boy heaven! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-taken-public-transpo-before#post-2492330 Fri, 11 Mar 2016 15:47:32 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2492330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No - but public transit in Atlanta is awful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-taken-public-transpo-before#post-2491255 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 21:05:21 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2491255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. There isn't really public transport near me. 30/40 minutes out there is but that's not a thing here. I mean I guess I could call a taxi but people don't really do that either lol we've never traveled with them to a place that would need us to use public transport. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-taken-public-transpo-before#post-2491251 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 20:59:54 +0000 skipra 2491251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No but we live walking distance to the train to downtown. Weekend schedules always interfered with naps and then it was cold so we just haven't taken it. We are planning to this spring or summer.<br /> We also have a couple buses that run right near our house but I don't even know where they go! Suburb life! At our old house we took trains and buses almost every day (pre-LO!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-taken-public-transpo-before#post-2491241 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 20:55:03 +0000 MOMTOLITTLEB 2491241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Funny that you asked- he took his first train ride today! He just did it for fun, to visit me at work and we all drove home together. We don't normally use public transportation. It's not that practical for our location and lifestyle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-taken-public-transpo-before#post-2491233 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 20:47:20 +0000 nana87 2491233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>oh yes! our daily commute now that she's boycotting her stroller is 2 buses </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-taken-public-transpo-before#post-2491230 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 20:45:25 +0000 Corduroy 2491230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, LO and I took BART to a Disney princess show. Is was a sight to see all the princesses checking out the train. I've taken her one other time (and every day she commuted with me when I was pregnant). I haven't taken LO2 since there was measles exposure on BART right around when he was born and I didn't want to risk it. We may or may not wait for his MMR. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-taken-public-transpo-before#post-2491217 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 20:35:49 +0000 catlady 2491217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, all the time. We live in the city and I hate to drive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-taken-public-transpo-before#post-2491212 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 20:33:15 +0000 pastemoo 2491212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: Yes but not in our hometown.<br /> NYC: Subway and bus.<br /> San Fran: trolley, cable car, subway, light rail, BART (super light rail?), bus.<br /> Cleveland: Rapid (light rail/trolley)</p> <p>That's probably it.</p> <p>But nothing here. Though they are opening up a brand new trolley line downtown (we just got the train cars!) so maybe this summer.<br /> We spend a good deal of time watching trains at crossroads and at the big train station but they are all cargo trains. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-taken-public-transpo-before#post-2491205 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 20:31:02 +0000 MaisyMay 2491205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup. We have just one car and on Saturdays I drive to the train station and DH takes LO via bus to get the car later. Also, we have taken LO via Bart (similar to train) several times. </p>
