Nuremberg is a very extended city of the region of Franconia in the German state of Bavaria, with half a million inhabitants. So the underground together with trams and buses are important for the movement of the people. During our stay, students and teachers have frequently used the undeground or U-bahn,  as they call it. I used to get on the U2 line, which covered the route between Röthenbach and Ziegelstein or Flughafen (the airport), depending on the train.

[13th CW] WHAT'S THE BEST WAY TO COMMUTE TO NEW YORK?

Many people have to commute every day. Commute is the trip you have to do to go to work. In smaller cities, like Coruña, people can commute walking, but in bigger cities, like New York, it's impossible to go walking due to the long distances, and people have to use different means of transport.
