I know some people who wouldn't get in a plane ✈ for any reason whatsoever. It's the same thing with me with ship or boat or anything that runs on water. I don't feel comfortable being on them one bit.

How about you?
 
I'm not a fan of ships, don't want to go on them. Don't like planes, either, but I will at least trust those more than ships.
 
It used to be ferries but I don't get sea sick anymore on short ferry journeys.
 
I won't use Uber or the taxi service in town for the reason that I've always owned a car and never had to use those services. When I've had car trouble I've had friends & family drive me to work.
 
Plane. :eek:
I've flown and floated....boats are okay by me.
 
Public transport such as buses and trains.
 
I can use any mode of transportation just fine. I am not an anxious person so I tend not to think about all the things that could possibly go wrong. I just go with the flow.

It is crazy how everyone is comfortable with driving somewhere in a car when that is statistically far more likely to kill you than anything else.

Thats my brother. He'd rather spend 4 days in a train than fly somewhere in 4 hours. Crazy thing is he's never even flown anywhere. I can understand flying and not liking it but refusing to ever do it in the first place is odd to me. Oh well, its not me stuck on a train or a bus for several days, thats his problem. :P

I just guess that they are not yet ready to face their fears and you know what fear can do. It's a very powerful emotion that can't be taken lightly. One day just bundle him up like they did in the movie Alpha Team. The Mohawk guy who hates flying, his teammate had to bundle him and fly him 😂 😂.
 
Considering the insecurity situation in my country, I may not be able to make use of the the railway type of transportation to make my movement. I can't just imagine that.
