Surprise: BEATS ALL THE BUS TRAVEL IN
CENTER (From The Nation February 12, 2009)
[... what can the reader imagine a title like that? Perhaps were compared different means of transport, the most common with which they move the Florentine ... we read ...]
Florence, February 12, 2009 - We did a test, in Florence of a thousand yards and crazy traffic, to see which of the means of transport was more efficient to move from square to square Beccaria Antinori, in the heart of town.
One race 'competitive' with a lot of official timekeeper to see who was the winner of taxi, bus and feet. So, Tuesday morning, there was the official start. With an upset. As in Zeno's paradox, Achilles did not reach the turtle: the turtle bus has not been reached by taxi Achilles. The real clash was between these two means of locomotion, because for the same process used to walk twice as long, or at least that was the chronometer relief for those who went on foot. At eleven o'clock the three 'contestants' leave.
who knock on electric, some in taxis, on foot. All strictly contemporary. But the taxi which at first seemed to have a good chance of winning, was that lingered from construction sites also in the center are the masters. Transennature blocked by some last-minute, forced to retrace his steps and follow the path of the bus, taxi lost the race, reaching over 30 seconds behind to knock power, which instead was ranked first on the goal, finding the timekeepers are ready to stop time.
Certainly it was not a trip to a formula, but at least one euro and 20 cents you can reach the goal. Better not talk about how much we spent with the taxi almost a lottery. € Nine, nine, a stretch of road to make ridiculous and even get seconds. Difficult to conceive of such a charge, 73 cents per minute, even if not the blame must be given to taxi drivers. The problem is that in the center of Florence is practically impossible to move. And in the end they also have a nice walk has its positive sides.
[read on to find that about two kilometers to knock the power put us 11 minutes and 56 seconds ... I wonder ... but the hundreds and Florence that move only in bicycle and scooter ... not are perhaps smarter?? How can remind you to compare bus and taxi (who has never taken a taxi!) And not the bike or scooter certainly faster? Perhaps the ATAF sponsored the article?? ]
Surprise: IF WE USE ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION THAT YOU ARE COMFORTABLE, FAST AND GET THE BUS TOO PURE ECONOMIC! W RIDE!
(although be careful with the holes! Now the asphalt of Florence has become a Swiss cheese, which devastates the trip by bicycle and to those who go back on a scooter!)
