   He has been driven in cars by UNIT staff and driven a car in the Agatha   
   Christie episode, although they aren't "public transport". I seem to   
   vaguely recall at least one taxi ride (plus a rickshaw?). He has also been   
   on the Titanic liner (spaceship version) and the Orient Express.   
      
   The main problem with Matt Smith's Doctor is that he has a massive ADHD /   
   ADD problem ... he simply can't stay still for two minutes (as shown in   
   the recent cube invasion episode, among others), so a long train journey   
   would be absolutely horrific.
