Public Transportation

It is so nice to be back in a country - and a city - with public transportation that I can understand. We can check the schedules online, the fares are set, things run mostly on time. They aren't on Swiss time but the schedules are closely kept, if not exactly. Lexi was scared the first time that we went on the Metro but now she is very excited to see the train. Her arms start flapping and she is screaming at the top of her lungs "Train, Train". She is also quite happy to go on the bus. Unlike in Switzerland, we have to fold up the stroller on the bus which is a bit of a hassle, especially since our stroller isn't small when it folds up - smaller, but not small.
