IC Prospective 5th year Gryffindor

Character: Arthur Pendragon
Mun: Otter
Plot specific: Nope.

Does anybody care to explain to me, why we have to learn about Muggle public transport? I mean, it's not like most of us are really ever going to use it.

Further more, what do Oysters have to do with it, and why are they on cards?

You forget about the Knight Bus. That's an example of Wizards using and modifying Muggle technology. I doubt they'd bother if Wizarding transportation is so perfect.
Sure, you can Apparate, but if you need to get somewhere where you can't such as here or the Ministry you'll need some sort of alternative.

Personally I like Muggle transportation. Motorcycles are awesome.

At least the night bus is barely ever crowded and smells a whole deal better I imagine.

And you don't need a bus or a train full of people to get to get to the ministry, and the Hogwarts express is only meant to be part of the thrill and grandeur of getting to school.

Motorcycles aren't public transport.

Oh I wouldn't say that. I think all forms of public transit stink in some way. Doesn't matter if they're Muggle or Wizard.

The Hogwarts train is pretty convienient for people who live far away though. I'm sure trying to wrangle your entire family via a magical transport method can be a chore.

No, but they're awesome. I'd take traveling by one of those than Apparating or the Floo network any day.
