Alternative Alternative Transport

Living in West Auckland I have to commute quite some distance to get into the city for my lectures at uni. I could take my car into university every morning, but that would require me taking out a loan to pay for the gas. Instead I rely on the public transport of Auckland City, and take the train to Britomart Station each morning.

The thing with Auckland Public transport is that its not reliable for much other than being unreliable. The busses break down frequently, the trains break down at least once a week. Then there are the system and point failures which leave me feeling completely time-raped.

For me there aren't many alternative forms of transport, but I have compiled a list of very alternative alternative modes of transport to help get people into town reliably.

Chocobos


Go to your local vegetable store or items shop, and grab some gysahl green. Find the closest field and wave the gysahl greens around and hey presto, you have yourself a chocobo. Chocobos are great modes of transport, they are fast, fuel efficient and everyone looks good riding on one. The only real drawback is that if you get off them they tend to dissapear on you.

Piggyback

If you're opposed to riding on the backs of animals, find the nearest human and saddle up.

Conga Lines
Commute to the city and get some excercise to the soundtrack of tacky holiday bars.

Teleportation Device
The fastest method in this list of alternative-alternative transports, just make sure you've got the kinks out of the system.

Cannons


Transport for those with cojones.

lol, i clicked your blog by mistake but i don't care. Thats a pretty funny post. I believe chocobo travel trumps the lot. Why not get a gang of chocobo-ringers in for a bout of bathroom cannibalism once they've expired their treasure-pecking abilities in them Chocobo forests? I hear hilarity is high and bloodshed very minimal but what would i know: I'm vegetarian :P
