Transit I've Ridden
In case you were ever curious, here are all the different types of transit service that I've ridden over the course of my life. I fully understand that I am one of the few people who would actually be interested in reading about someone else's transit rides. Please let me know if I misattributed any of the photos here.
I grouped these all mostly by geographic location as opposed to chronological order.

France
I was a kid when I went to Paris for the first time, so I don't remember too much about riding around on the Paris Metro. Apparently we actually got to ride on some 'trains' with the rubber tires, but I definitely didn't care about things like that as a kid. You can see what the rubber tires looked like in the Paris Metro photo below. They turned out not to be very smooth and generated way too much heat for the sections in tunnels.

I probably won't remember to update this page if Scotland leaves the UK following Brexit, so I'm sorry if Edinburgh is in this section incorrectly.
