Let's talk about getting around your city before we dive in. I'm curious how you actually experience it every day.

“What's your daily commute like — smooth sailing or a bit of a nightmare?”
“If you could magically upgrade one thing about your city's transport tomorrow, what would it be?”
“When was the last time you got stuck in a really overcrowded bus or train?”
“Would you rather have cheap fares or a super reliable service if you had to choose?”
“How easy is it for a tourist to navigate your city's transport network without help?”
Fresh topic questions — none repeat until you have seen them all
