Public Transport Enthusiast Traveled From Canada to Mexico by Only Taking City Buses
A Canadian engineer and pubic transport enthusiast travels only by public city transport over nine days, ending his trip in Mexico.
According to the New York Post, a Canadian man’s interest in public transportation prompted him to journey from his home to Mexico with one catch: he refused to take any Greyhound buses or Amtrak trains during his trip.
William Hui, 40, set out for his Pacific coast trip on June 24, starting at his home city in British Columbia, the BBC reported.
He aimed to reach Tijuana, Mexico in nine days by taking only public buses and trains and keeping walking between stops to a minimum.
“At no point in this trip did I have to walk more than maybe 15 minutes from one bus stop to another,” Hui told the BBC on Friday.
The TransLink systems engineer — the transportation authority in Vancouver — told the outlet the idea sprung into his head when he discovered a four-hour bus route linking Eureka, a city in northern California, to Ukiah, about two hours north of San Francisco.
