Taxi is about 65 Euros (last I checked), and if you arrive at 5pm, you're bound to hit traffic and end up paying even more. The train is 10 Euros and takes half the time.

[Disarm D'arcy]

65? Seriously? Does anyone ever take a cab from the airport?

[D.o.S.]

I assume some people do.

[Disarm D'arcy]

65 for a cab ride! You could circle around Paris twice for that, and have enough € left for a beer.

Train it is.

[D.o.S.]

Back in my day you could circle around Paris twice on two hand shakes and a winning smile. Uphill both ways.

I have no idea what that means but I'm sticking with it.

[goroth]

grab a cab at the airport and meet you guys in the city

Oh you crazy continentals!

It cost me €17 to get from our rehearsal room to the venue for our last gig. It was less than 2km.

[Disarm D'arcy]

But... Why?

[UglyCasanova]

Public transport is very much on the rise, and has been for some time



Plus, minimum wage is pretty high here, so taxi drivers are entitled to a certain amount of money. And gas is relatively expensive, despite Norway being an oil nation. 1,6 Euro per liter, I think. Taxis are mostly for rich business people or people that are so drunk they don't realize/care how much money they're spending.

TLDR; probably too many reasons. I probably take a cab 1-2 times a year, so I'm not sure.

[D.o.S.]

You guys have no idea how fucking nice you have it w/r/t public transit, too.

[UglyCasanova]

I feel like I appreciate it. I don't even have a driver's license because I'm able to get around by subway/tram/bus.

[Disarm D'arcy]

Is cycling a thing in Norway?

[Disarm D'arcy]

Prepared a mixtape.

Yep. I've got three rugrats and no car or driver's license. It's bike or public transport!

But we do have it good. There's no way I could have the lifestyle I have in a lot of places around the world.

[UglyCasanova]

Is cycling a thing in Norway?

Yeah. You download an app and beep it at a bike station (there's 200 of them downtow ) and it releases a bike you can ride for a few hours. You can return the bike at any of the stations

[Disarm D'arcy]

We have that too. I meant more like do people use their bikes like Americans would use their oversized cars? Is it common for Norwegians to use a bicycle as their primary means of transportation?
