Birthdays and ages

[Matyuv]

That's a bit weird I think, here you get a discount as long as you're studying in school/uni

[Xenon]

Forget full price. I'm 16 and still say I'm a child! Where I live, currently we don't need to use any form of age identification.

[Holy Crap]

well, at pizza hut, despite being 15, taller than most of the staff and having noticeable facial hair, they still charge me as a "child: 8-12".

Here too, but I haven't started studying yet. I'm just applying for school, baw.

[Hunchman801]

We're supposed to have student discounts too but I've never benefited from it

[Cairnie]

Paying 2 quid for each time on the bus sucks!

[Holy Crap]

yeah....i have no idea how much 2 quid is. is that alot?

[Xenon]

It's about $2.60, I think.

[Holy Crap]

that's not much.

[Matyuv]

for each time on the bus?? that's crazy!

[Kelvin12]

that's not much.

If you know how to drive and own a car.

It's quite expensive really, once you know the value.

Normally here, it'd be a lot less.

Gas prices here in America, what the hell?

We thought $2.00 was too much but now it's up to 4!

You don't think that's much but remember, about $4.00 a gallon, how much would it cost for well, I don't know, what's the usual to fill an empty tank?

But it costs a lot, I know that.

[Cairnie]

Dude. 2 quid is like 4 dollars.

[Holy Crap]

that's still a pretty cheap bus trip if. i think...
@kelvin: we pay about $1.50 a litre, and seeing as a gallon is about 3 litres, you've got it good!

[Luckster]

I wish I could have a solar powered vehicle...cause the gas prices alone are what are preventing me from wanting to get a license...

[FAB]

Well the future cars with doors that open upwards are powered by hydrogen. Which is easier than using petril. For one reason, it's getting expensive. These cars themselves are expensive too!

[Tobbe]

I'll be sixteen in seventeen days. That means I'll have to start paying full price on the bus.

lololol. I'm supposed to pay full fare, but I bring my brothers passport whenever I take the bus.
He's 14 and I'm 16, but we look very similar. Norwegian buss fares are ridicolously high, at least in Trøndelag.

[Luckster]

Why can't people get cars to run on water or something we don't have to kill ourselves to get?

[Hunchman801]

We pay 1.5€ for a bus ticket in France, which is quite a lot actually

[Tobbe]

A regular buss fare within the city of Trondheim is 30 NOK, £2.95, €3.73 or $5.82. Whichever you prefer.

Gas prices in America are actually really low. Stop whining for God's sake.
Gas prices are a lot worse over here. In Norway, one of the world's leading producers of oil, the gas price is roughly $2.50 per litre. Multiply that by 3.7854 and we get a gas price of about $9.50 per gallon. Now that's high.

EDIT: And some politicians have suggested that we force the gas price up to 25 NOK or $4.86 pr. litre, or $18.40 pr. gallon, for enviromental reasons.

That's... insane
