Water Taxi : Rhone River : Geneva, CH

Don't worry. Your eyesight isn't getting worse. I intentionally shot this picture this way. It's a water taxi in the harbor in Geneva. Rather than sitting in traffic trying to cross from one side of Geneva via the Pont du Mont Blanc to the other, you can simply hop a water taxi and cross from the Paquis to Eaux Vivex in no time.

CDP Monthly Theme: Transportation

 Contrails over Geneva : Transportation = Air Transport

This month's theme on City Daily Photo is Transporation. I wanted to post a picture of the bus that runs through my town and that served as the impetus for the name of this blog, but I didn't leave the house on Sunday, ergo I have no pictures of the F Bus, so no go. Instead, I give you this photo of contrails taken in the skies over Geneva the other day.

Here are a few facts and statistics on air travel, in case you're interested:

Busiest Airport in the World (Passengers): Hartfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL), Altanta, GA, USA
Busiest Airport in the World (Cargo): Memphis International Airport (MEM), Memphis, TN, USA
Largest Number of International-Bound Passengers: London Heathrow International Airport (LHR), London, UK
Most International Destinations Served: Frankfurt International Airport (FRA), Frankfurt, Germany

Parking

Bike Parking under the Bahnhof : Basel, CH

Under the streets surrounding Basel's Hauptbahnhof (train station) is this bike parking lot. My friend Scott warned me I was in for a surprise, but I wasn't expecting this! And this is only one of several lots for bike parking under the tram tracks. Why can't we find stuff like this in the States?
