Ingabe Isitimela Sihamba Ngakwesokudla Kuwe?
Uhambo lokuhamba luyaqhubeka luvame kakhulu. U-Amtrak, inkampani kazwelonke yezitimela zase-US, ubika ukuthi umthengi uyaqhubeka nokukhula ngonyaka. Izibalo ze-Office of Rail of the Regulations yase-UK zikhombisa ukunyuka okufanayo kumakhilomitha abagibeli kanye nezinombolo zabagibeli. Kukhona zonke izizathu zokukholelwa ukuhamba ngesikebhe kuzoqhubeka nokuheha abagibeli abaningi njengoba izindiza zikhuphuka, imigqa yokuphepha yesikhumulo sezindiza ikhula isikhathi eside futhi abahambi bacabangela izindlela zokuhamba.
Izibalo eceleni, umbuzo wabavakashelayo uthi, "Ngifanele ngihambe ngesitimela esikhundleni sezindiza, ibhasi noma imoto?" Impendulo ayincike kuphela kwisabelomali sakho kodwa futhi lapho uya khona, udinga izinga lokududuza nokuhamba.
Njengoba uhlela iholidi lakho, uzodinga ukucabangela izinzuzo nezingozi zokuhamba ngesitimela ngaphambi kokuba unqume ukuthi uzothola kanjani kusuka endaweni ngezindawo. Nazi ezinye izinto okufanele uzikhumbule.
Izinzuzo zohambo lwezokuqeqesha
Ukuhamba ngebhayisikili kuyashesha futhi kuqondile phakathi kwemizi emikhulu, ikakhulukazi emazweni anezinsimbi zesitimela esisheshayo.
Uma uhamba ngesitimela, ungakwazi ukuphumula ngempela. Awuhambisani ne-autobahn noma ushayela ukuhamba kwe-manual Fiat ngakwesokudla "okungalungile" komgwaqo, ngakho-ke ungakwazi ukubuka indawo ehamba ngayo, ulale noma ufunde incwadi.
Ukuhamba ngezitimela kumnandi. Ubani ongazizwa bejabule ekuboneni kanye nokuzwakala kwe-locomotive enamandla edonsa esiteshini?
Kulula ukubhuka uhambo lwesitimela.
Emazweni amaningi, ungakwazi ukubhuka amathikithi akho ku-inthanethi kunokuya esiteshini sesitimela ukuzowathenga.
Uma uzoba esifundeni noma ezweni elifanayo isikhathi eside, ungagcina imali ngokuthenga amathrekhi esitimela. Izinkampani eziningi zesitimela zendiza zihlinzeka ngezindlela eziningi ezihlukahlukene zokuhamba kwezitimela, kuhlanganise nempelasonto nokudlula komndeni.
Ezinye izinkampani zesitimela nazo zinikeza izaphulelo eziphezulu eziteshini zesitimela namathikithi avamile.
Abahamba ngezinyawo noma imibhangqwana, ukuhamba ngesitimela kungabi kubiza kakhulu kunokuqasha imoto kwelinye izwe, ikakhulukazi uma ubheka izindleko zokupaka, uphethiloli kanye nama-toll.
Awudingi ukupaka isitimela sakho. Uma uvakashela amadolobha amakhulu phakathi nohambo lwakho, ukucabanga ukuthi ukupaki ukuthenga kahle futhi ngokuphepha kungaba yindabuko yangempela, ungakhulumi izindleko ezingadingekile.
Ukuhamba ngesitimela kuyindlela enhle kakhulu yokuhlangana nabakhileyo futhi uthole kabanzi mayelana nezindawo ovakashelayo.
Ukungahambi kohambo lwezokuqeqesha
Amashejuli wezitimela angeke afane nezikhathi zakho zokuhamba nezintandokazi zakho, ngakho-ke kungadingeka ulungise uhambo lwakho. Lokhu kuyiqiniso ikakhulukazi ukuhamba kwezitimela ezide kakhulu e-US. Amanye amadolobha amakhulu awahanjiswa ngqo yizitimela zase-Amtrak, kodwa ngevisi yebhasi esuka esiteshini sase-Amtrak kwelinye idolobha.
Kungase kudingeke ukhuthazelele i-layover yasebusuku ebusuku endaweni esiteshini esincane kakhulu ukuze wenze uxhumano lwezitimela.
Uma ufuna ukuvakashela amadolobha asezintabeni noma ezindaweni ezikude zokuvubukula, kuzomele uthathe ibhasi noma itekisi esiteshini sesitimela ukuze ufike ezindaweni ofuna ukuzovakashela. Iziteshi zezitimela ezinkulu zivame ukuhlala edolobheni, kodwa iziteshi ezincane zesitimela zivame ukufakwa emaphethelweni amadolobha abakhonza kuwo.
( Ithiphu: Cabanga ukuthatha uhambo oluhambelana nosuku oluvela edolobheni elikhulu kuya kwezinye zalezi zindawo ezikude uma ungafuni ukuthatha ibhasi noma itekisi kubo.)
Emazweni amaningi, kuzodingeka ubeke izihlalo zakho - ngemali - futhi ngokuvamile uzodingeka ukhokhe enye imali yokukhokhela ukuhamba ngesitimela esheshayo. Uma ungagcini isihlalo, ungaqeda ukuma isikhathi sokuhamba kwakho.
Kungase kudingeke ukuthi ulethe ukudla nokuphuza kwakho siqu esitimeleni.
Izimo zingase zigcwele, zingcolile noma zingakhululekile, ikakhulukazi ngezikhathi zokuhamba eziphakeme noma emazweni asathuthuka.
Abantu abakuhlangana nabo bangase babe yizilwane zeqembu elibhebhethekile noma, nakakhulu, izigebengu ezincane . Qiniseka ukugqoka ibhande lemali ukugcina izinto zakho eziyigugu ziphephile.
Ekugcineni, kuzodingeka wenze ucwaningo ngezintengo zamathikithi wezitimela, hlola amashejuli ngokuhambela uhambo lwakho oluhlongozwayo futhi uhlole izinzuzo nezingozi zokuhamba ngesitimela ngokumelene nezintandokazi zakho ngaphambi kokunquma ukuthi iyiphi indlela yokuhamba engcono kakhulu kuwe.
