Let's talk about getting around your city! I'm curious how you move around every day.

“How do you usually get around your city, and what do you like about it?”

“What's the most annoying thing about your daily commute?”

“If you could design the perfect transport system for your city, what would it look like?”

“Would you prefer a fast but overcrowded train, or a slow but empty bus?”

“Tell me about a time transport really let you down — what happened?”

Fresh topic questions — none repeat until you have seen them all
