Transportation of the Year

Candidates


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nominations

1. Tram of Bordeaux 

I missed the legendary Serge but I could enjoy the same network with a great daylight view almost everywhere. Unlimited travel times in seven days by 11 € only, free chocolate at off-school rush hour included ;-)

2. Metro of Lisbon

With probably the most comfortable seat you have never expected, looking old but designed with ergonomics!

3. Swiss LX 1951

十多年前,第一次到Barcelona就是夜间,依稀记得从空中看到网状的灯火。这么多年过去了,巴塞罗那机场都建好了新的航站楼,上百次出入,竟然再没有一次起降是赶在黑天并且坐窗口——直到这次乘坐瑞航早班飞机才意识到……旁边都是睡着的乘客,自己一个人边看外面边感慨。著名地标的景观灯在清晨都关了,但也能通过路灯走向判断出哪条是Balmes哪条是Marina……这次航班的另一大意外是在飞越Alps的时候正赶上日出!十月末,白雪覆盖的山峦,红日映射在在机窗上,睡意全无……也轻松识别出Verbier-Martigny一带,以及远处飘渺的Léman湖。快到Zürich了,回看来处,群峰争艳,下面是镜子般的湖面和无边的绿野,虽然隔着薄薄的晨雾,竟然也特别美好(照片全不给力,只能留在记忆里)。

4. TAP Portugal

Prices at low-cost level but services as conventional airlines.

Winner

Bus line No. 8 of Valladolid



Once finally we got onto it, I knew that journey would be perhaps the only experience of this type I might have in my life.

还给你的钱
坐在你的对面
你让我住嘴的小小小眼色
