This week is Earth week at Yahoo!, in order to celebrate Earth day. To celebrate, I’m offering you a couple of car-free videos.

I’m trying to live a European life in California. Though it’s not always easy, I do ride my bike to work every day and ride the train (I’ve never been a fan of cars).

Here’s what the ride on the train looks like in the evening. First, leaving from Mountain View:

I was asked for my ticket (that happens twice a month, and that was today), so I have a part 2 after the break, arriving in Palo Alto:

Isn’t it a nice ride? Much better than sitting in traffic on 101.

The bottom line is that in California, compared to France, the trains are noisy (as you can clearly hear on this video) and not as punctual. But they exist: leave your car at home, use public transportation!
