Absoluutselt. Kodust taksoga vaksalisse minna on odavam, kui siitsamast rongile minna! :o Varasem ca 1,3 eurotki oli jabur, arvestades, et Balti jaama, Kitseküla ja Ülemiste puhul vahet pole ja seal vahemaad kaugelt suuremad kui 2 km.

#Madli (Madli/Madel/Madle/etc.)
Name chosen to create a woman’s name group, this one, like Maud in English, being a diminutive of Magdaleena, qv, and I’m sure the fact that Tallinn Deputy Mayor’s first name is Madle has absolutely nothing to do with this.

Reet, Krõõt, Greta, Gret, Marge, Margit, Maret: mis neid nimesid ühendab?

Need on kõik tuletatud Margaritast, mis on üle Euroopa levinud ladina keele kaudu.

Sinna jõudis see omakorda kreeka keelest: μαργαρίτης tähendab pärli. Selle juured on omakorda samatähenduslikus pärsia sõnas murwārīd.
