Does GTA V have usable public transport? I liked the subway in GTA IV.

I think I read that GTA V has jackable trains again. Can anyone with the game confirm if this is true or false?

[Ozyton]

I think I saw some of those tram cars in a video, but I don't know if they're ridable or even drivable.

You can fly a 747 so I assume you'd be able to drive a tram.

EDIT: It's a tram not a trolley. Derp

I will say it's a bit sad to see where all the celebs from GTA lore have ended up these days. I mean Lazlo has been a wreck since, San Andreas at least (Chronologically speaking) but Jack Howitzer has hit rock bottom. His segment on the TV is worth the admission alone as far as reason to watch the ingame TV.

Least Fernando is still Fernando from what I've heard on the radio.

So... Is this coming out on PC or not? Or is it as of yet unknown?

[Knight of Fools]

It hasn't even been announced yet, but there's been some folks that have looked into the game files and found some hints that there will be a PC version. Best find another game to cool your heels over until they release it in a year or so.

GTA III: Consoles - October 2001    PC - May 2002
GTA Vice City: Consoles - October 2002    PC - May 2003
GTA San Andreas: Consoles - October 2004    PC - June 2005
GTA IV: Consoles - April 2008    PC - December 2008

So it stands to reason that it should be around

GTA V: Consoles - September 2013    PC - April - June 2014

That said V should be a smoother port job than IV, if only because V runs way better than IV as it stands on consoles. (Seriously, boot up IV if you still have it and compare it during heavy fights/chases. I've never seen V stutter the way IV could) Then add the fact that Console specs are the exact same while our PCs are 5 years better, and the port should be smooth sailing. I mean I can still see them fucking up PC controls, especially since they've gone heavy on the radial menus, but GTA really is a "Plug in the gamepad" type game anyway.

Previous GTA's were used to promote consoles. The days of current generation consoles are almost over, so there is no need for R* to delay it for this reason, unless they'll have to delay it to promote Xbox One or Playstation 4.

Well, there WERE signs pointing to the PS4 in the version files.

This is now my favourite feature in GTA V.

[Johuotar]

This is now my favourite feature in GTA V.

Aww, I've always wanted something like that

I think that the pc version would be detrimental to selling the current gen consoles, especially now that their time is soon to end, its logical that now is the last chance to really sell them and GTA V is the killer app that makes people buy them. I asked about GTA V pc version in gamestop and they explained how it will come late and be buggy and that I should buy console instead, and that they would give GTA V with it if I would.

GTA V: World's best asshole simulator since tossing stuff at people in Half-Life 2.

[Farce]

This is now my favourite feature in GTA V.

The last two are great.

Also, yes, that too also is one of my favorite things.  Though, I don't think I've gotten any awesome ones like those.

If there's not going to be a PC version, there will be a LOT of bitching and rage.

There is already a lot of bitching and rage over the lack of PC version.

I tried twice to hijack trains while they were in motion, and could only shoot the conductor through the window. Perhaps you can hijack them while in station, but definitely not in motion. 
The damage simulation in this game is really great, I hit a car with a truck and one of its wheels actually came off, leaving the car severely damaged where I hit it but otherwise fine (though of course incapable of movement) and it didn't even clip the terrain!
