Theme day: Public transportation
For 2010 November the Theme day is about Public Transportation. The Margaret Bridge is again closed for the tramways, too in Budapest. These long buses are replacing them.
Lucas’s Budapest
Today our guest photographer is Lucas.
Living in the heart of a city, one tends to forget that there is a marvellous world for us to discover at own pace without the hustle and bustle and the bright lights of city life. From Budapest you can easily get to Lake Balaton within 2 hours leaving from Keleti (East station) or Deli (South station) and arrive at one of the picturesque townships along the bank. There is a flat and easy to follow 210 km cycle route which circumferences the lake. where one can sample the local cuisines, wines and swim in local spots just of the cycle route.

Budapest metro
The Budapesti metró is the metro system in Budapest
Line 1 (been around since 1896) and was declared a World Heritage Site in 2002.
There are three existing lines, namely, yellow line 1, red line 2, blue line 3. Very easy to remember since each is designated by a number and a colour.
Metro Line 4 is currently under construction.
Right before raining
Yesterday was the first day when I went to the city in a single t-shirt and in a short. Of course it was raining. The photo was taken at the St. Stephen Bazilika just right before the raining has started.
Morning rush
In the morning I forgot that I had classes today. So I had to run and I took this photo in the car while driving down from the hill.
I got to the University on time:)

Keleti Pályaudvar
Sunny afternoon at the Eastern Railway Station in Budapest. It was right before we started our trip to Venice. By the way if you are interested here you can see a short video about our night-train trip from Budapest to Venice.
Having a rest:)
This photo was taken by Kinga Lakatos. She caught the bus driver on the Thököly street having a rest at the red lamp like this:) Thank you Kinga for sharing the photo with us!
