Park Transit...Literally

And the award for most random transit system yet encountered in Europe goes to: the transit system in the park behind the palace in Caserta, Italy. The grand palace in Caserta plays host to the longest man-made waterfall in the world (which, incidentally, was the setting for the final scene of Star Wars (1977). The park in which the waterfall resides is 3 km in length and, apparently, people get exhausted walking from one end to the other. So, the tourist office offers a bus ticket for 1 euro. Unfortunately, you have to buy the ticket before entering the park, so you don't know if you'll be able to walk it or not. It is, however, very surreal to see a random city bus driving around this park full of horse drawn carriages and bicycles.
