]]>Ferry
If you plan on visiting numerous islands during your stay, then a ferry will prove to be both a useful and enjoyable mode of transport. Greece has a vast network of ferries across the country that connects numerous mainland ports with the islands, making island-hopping a breeze.
Boats
Seating between six and 12 people, there is no shortage of compact boats that you can use to sail around Greece. What’s particularly appealing about smaller sailing boats is that they can be used to travel to remote beaches and hidden areas that are otherwise inaccessible. You can also rent out a speedboat for a high-adrenaline adventure.
ATV
Once you’ve arrived at your destination, you’ll surely want to explore your new surroundings. Why not do it on your own terms by riding an ATV? There are also several thrilling ATV tours on islands such as Santorini, thereby adding an extra thrill to what is sure to be an already fascinating sightseeing tour.

]]>Car Ride
Car rides are a great option if you have someone to share expenses with. If you’re doing it on your own, the price of gas that you’re going to spend might be too high, so you should consider either having your friends and family join you or using ride-sharing apps to split the costs.
Tour Transportation
Car rides are a great option for local trips, but you’ll need to spend some extra cash on a rent a car agency if you want to travel abroad. If you’re not willing to do this, check out if there are any tours to your destination, and book one of them if the price tag is lower.
Public Transportation
Public transportation is not a great option for group trips, but it can save you some money if you’re traveling solo. Compare prices of train and bus tickets to the amount of money that you would spend on gas, and figure out which option is more affordable.

This mode of transportation has been popular for tourists in Cuba since the 90s. Coco taxis are made from fiberglass shells and the seats are welded onto Piaggio scooters. They get their name from their bright, yellow coconut-shaped shells.
Jeepneys in the Philippines
These bus-like transports are a symbol of Filipino culture and they were made out of Willy Jeeps that were left by the U.S. after World War II in the early ’50s. To make more space the jeeps were extended and they were topped with a rood and painted bright colors.
The Schwebebahn in Germany
This suspension railway that is above the city and the Wupper tributary started in 1901 and is used by 85,000 passengers daily. This railway is made famous by the 1950 incident involving Tutu the circus elephant who rode the monorail as part of an advertising stunt but threw a fit and fell out the window and fell 39-feet into the river. Don’t worry, the elephant survived.

European countries offer quick, versatile, and affordable public transportation systems. In most major cities, you can pick between subways, trams, and buses, and quickly get from point A to point B if you don’t have time to explore top tourist attractions on foot.
Easy to Navigate
If your goal is to visit as many countries as possible, Europe is a good place to start. Many countries are in close proximity to each and offer fast trains and reasonably-priced buses, making it possible to quickly cover a lot of ground.

]]>If you find yourself in Pittsburgh, one of the best ways to gain a new perspective on its striking downtown area is to board one of the city’s two surviving inclined railways that used to transport residents of the city’s hilly surroundings to the downtown area for work.
Here’s a guide to both!
Duquesne Incline
The Duquesne Incline is the most famous of the city’s two incline railways, and for good reason. This historic landmark was built in 1870 to transport people from Mt. Washington to the city’s South Shore district. Now, going up to Mt. Washington provides the city’s best viewpoint of the beautiful Golden Triangle area.
Monongahela Incline
The oldest still-used funicular in the United States is this incline railway on the south shore of the Monongahela River, just across the body of water from Downtown Pittsburgh. There’s no better place to see the river and how it molds the city to form the unique geography of Pittsburgh.

]]>Here are some unique bridges throughout the world that you will want to visit.
Duge Bridge: China
Don’t cross the Duge Bridge if you’re afraid of heights! This is the world’s tallest bridge, which crosses nearly 2,000 feet over the Beipan River. It opened in 2016.
Vizcaya Bridge: Spain
This unique bridge located near the city of Bilbao in the Basque Country is unique because it’s a transporter bridge, meaning that has a suspending gondola that can transport vehicles across the river.
Banpo Bridge: South Korea
This cheerful bridge in the South Korean capital of Seoul holds the distinction as being the world’s largest bridge which also doubles as a fountain! Water jets shoot out from its sides into the water below.
LEGO Bridge: Germany
This quirky bridge might not be as structurally impressive as the other bridges listed, but it’s painted to look like a LEGO model! If you’re in Wuppertal, be sure to seek it out.

]]>Price
You would be hard pressed to find a cheaper way to travel than with a bus. Buses are not only cheaper in terms of the price, but since their luggage policies are way more lenient than planes, you don’t have to worry about paying for hidden fees
Scenery
There’s nothing better than staring out of a window and looking at all the natural landscape while you travel. In an airplane, you might catch a glimpse of a pretty view every once in a while, but on a bus, you’re in the thick of it.
Eco-Friendly
Although buses still pollute the air, their carbon emissions are significantly less than that of an airplane. With global warming coming to a place where it’s almost too late to reverse, using alternative transportation is more vital than ever before. Also, since you’re on a bus, you’re more likely to be dropped off closer to the center of whatever city you’re visiting, which means you probably won’t have to use more transportation and pollute the air more with another ride.
