And the search train rails on!


Right now, as I am checking out the train service in my country, I realized that I know very little of them. I don't know if they have any train line which stops at each train station in country.

Train service is not really popular among people that I know. The handful of people that I know had taken the train before, probably prefer driving to train taking now. It never crossed my mind to ask them about the service either then.

So right now, I'm left to conduct my own research. I really hope that I can get enough information from the internet without needing to call the train service provider tomorrow. If it gets to that, it would be a little disappointing to me considering that the government is really trying to promote tourism here.

My initial browsing so far has led me to some schedules of trains, express and non-express, I think. I am not sure about the latter, as the isn't any description on the name of the service. All the express train line names are preceded with the word 'ekpress' which cannot mean other than 'express'. I hope.

It is the non-express lines that I am interested in. I just want to try out the service first, so the idea I have in mind is to hop from the nearest station to my place to the next nearest station, and then back. That's the master plan.

I wonder too, how can I get to that train station, if I do not want to drive or take the taxi. I wonder if the is any public bus that goes that way. Or if I do drive, is there any parking lots available for the commuters.

And not forgetting the fare. I've to stumble across any guide to the fare for the non-express lines. Also, the amenities each train car provides. Toilet is very important!

And so, the search train rails on!
