The best transportation to go to class from your dorm

26-01-2018

Living in a residence hall is one of the experiences of your life that you will never forget. That fellow who was chaos, the one who loves cooking for the mates, the ona that always arrives late, the flirt ... but, of course, also have to go to class and arriving on time. Many residences are near the universities, but, if not, public transport is the best option. Why? It is economical, timely and in all cities, universities are very well connected with public transport.

It is undeniable that public transport is cheaper than the private, at least, to move around the city. We will have to take the calculator and count to see if we get cheaper the bus, metro or tram, but often have discounts for university and students. We can inform our university or customer points of public transport companies. Remember that the monthly and annual bonuses or ten trips tickets are always cheaper than one-way trips.

These discounts can be added together led to large families, the disabled, etc. For the inhabitants of university flats Barcelona, ​​there are discounts, as neighbors of the Catalan capital who are registered as unemployed can also get discounts. Do not forget to check the differences between bonds for a single means of transport or allowing use train, bus, metro and tram with one ticket. Again, the key is to compare prices.

Metro, tram and bus are the traditional means of public transport, but in recent years we have seen our cities reach public services bicycle rental. No need each student to bring your own bike, since for a very affordable price students can use throughout the year public bicycles. As in the case of subways and buses, there are many stations to stop the bike. Also, if you do not want to stay no place to park it, you will have to try to reach class time.

Now that you know all the possibilities, it's time to sit at the table with paper, pencil and calculator and start creating accounts. It is difficult to say which of all means of transport is the best, as prices change from one city to another. Even in the same city there are very well connected by bus points, but with a much worse service meter and vice versa. In the end, it depends on everyone, but if you want to get to class on time and save parking problems and gasoline, public transportation is best.

Also in our dorm, the metro is less than 100 meters and just in front of the Sagrada Familia. A luxury!
