Beggar and Public Transportation in Prague

Bismillah

This is a beggar I saw in Prague old town square, near the place where we bought our cinnamon rolls... One thing that I noticed is that there were less beggar here compared to back in Malaysia... One saddening thing is that these people use money given to them to buy booze... Well, after some thoughts, I guess that's kinda rational for them as alcohol can be used to heat up the body... And by the position of his body, I think, he's cold...

But as alcohol causes the blood capillaries to dilate, hence giving the drinker the sensation of warmth... Unfortunately, this is misleading however, as dilation of capillaries causes more heat to be lost...

I don't know... Never had the chance and desire to try that thing... Haha...

This is the escalator heading to the Prague Metro station in Radlická (pronounced Rad Lits Ka), ... It leeds deep through the soil of Prague... For the whole metro, there were only 3 lines, namely A,B and C... So it's kinda easy to understand how the system works...

The service is very very very very very efficient, as compared to KTM Komuter or even, LRT... In working days it usually takes less than 3 minutes for a train to arrive... In weekends, waiting time can stretch up to 7 minutes...

We pay around 720Kc (RM140) every 3 months to use the entire public transport system which includes bus, tram and the metro...

For the bus and the metro, it's also punctual... At stops, there will be a schedule and the tram or bus will arrive exactly as the time stated there (Provided that you synchronized your watch or timepiece with the official time)... This makes planning for a journey easy and practical...

Pedestrian crossing is very useful... If you want to, just cross the road and the traffic will surely stop to let you go...

That is the tram... There are many types of tram here... This is one of the more modern ones...
