Let's explore transportation in Ecuador and Romania. I find the journey as exciting as the destination.
My experience suggests that "zip around" often translates to "wait around," particularly with less reliable public transport. Mira, you've traveled extensively in Ecuador. What's your take on its transport system?
Ecuador's public transit, especially buses, is an adventure. It's lively, with music and vendors, but not always the fastest. The roads, particularly in mountainous areas, can be challenging—breathtaking views, but sometimes a bit hair-raising. However, new highways are improving things.
A roller coaster ride, you say? That sounds intense! Turning to Romania, they have a fairly extensive rail network, though not high-speed. It gets you there eventually.
A journey for the patient traveler! I can picture myself making a "slow travel" TikTok on a Romanian train. Bucharest has a metro, which is convenient.
Bucharest's metro is efficient, and they have trams and buses. Roads are improving with EU funding, but some stretches test your vehicle's suspension. It's a blend of old and new infrastructure.

Ride-sharing apps are also increasingly popular in larger cities, offering a more reliable alternative to taxis.
Especially helpful for nighttime travel. Safety is key. Whether in Quito or rural Romania, stay aware of your surroundings and carry a portable charger. Getting lost can be part of the adventure, as long as you can find help or a snack.
Or turn the experience into a stand-up routine! If you have transit tips for Ecuador or Romania, share them in the comments.
