Within Belgium, take the train. Trains are frequent and the major cities are easily reached. Timetables can be found on www.belgianrail.be, the website of SNCB/NMBS national railway company. From Leuven you have plenty of trains to Brussels, but also hourly connections to places like Ghent, Bruges, Oostende, Liège, Antwerpen or Mechelen.
You can buy ...

No. The option you mention is by far the fastest. Fly directly from Zurich to Amsterdam. Swiss has four flights per day. This takes 1h30. Then take a train from the Schiphol airport to Eindhoven. That's another 1h30. There are plenty of (direct) trains between Schiphol and Eindhoven. Add the time in between to get luggage, go to the train etc. And you are ...

For this kind of question, resrobot is an excellent tool.
It appears the quickest transport is a combination of train and bus:
Train Stockholm – Norrköping; for example, 07:59 - 09:23, 08:21 - 09:33, or 09:40 - 11:11.
Bus 432 or 433 Norrköping – Kolmården. For example, 10:00 - 10:09, or 11:47 - 12:00.
Kolmården Djurpark is 27 km from the Norrköping ...

Greetings from San Francisco. You can't get Clipper at most BART stations, but you do have a couple of alternatives:
Muni ticket vending machines, found at all Muni metro stations (which are all over the city center)
All SF outlets of Walgreens, a ubiquitous pharmacy chain
Plus a bunch of random neighbourhood stores etc, there's a handy map/locator on ...

You can go by bus from Grenoble to the Alpe d'Huez. On the 18th of July 2013 you can leave Grenoble at 6:55, 10:27 or 13:00. You will arrive at the Alpe d'Huez at 9:13, 12:43 or 14:43. On that day there is no bus leaving between 13:00 and 18:55, for obvious reasons ... Schedules can be consulted here. The site is in French only. Let me know if you need help ...

You've identified most of the standard options. Almost all travel between Denver and Fort Collins is by private car (as is almost all travel in general in the U.S., outside of a handful of corridors between large cities), and relatively few people are expected to take Amtrak to Denver in order to get to Fort Collins, so the schedules are not coordinated.

It's a matter of personal preference, of course, but I'd probably take the train. First airplane and then train sounds like a lot of hassle (check-in, check-out, transport, etc.). Also, you could get into trouble if the airplane is delayed and you miss the train you have booked.
On September 12th, for example, there are various eight hour train connections, ...

One train option that can be quite economical, and save you some time is to take the night train. There is a daily night train from Zürich to Amsterdam. Take that train as far as Utrecht, and take an IC to Eindhoven from there. The "CityNightline" night train has very good deals if you buy sufficiently in advance.
You leave Zürich in the evening, and you're ...

Here's what I ended up doing:
I took the train to the Cagnes-sur-mer railway station.
I walked about 10 minutes from the train station to the shuttle stop (because we couldn't for the life of us find a cab). Walking directions
We took shuttle 44 up to the chateau.

Unfortunately, my flight was very late, so I didn't actually arrive at Nice airport until just before 1am. The first thing to note is that the N100 nightbus is very prompt about leaving, and at 30 seconds past 1am you'll see its rear lights disappearing off into the distance...
The bus stop for the N4 nightbus is not well signposted from the airport, and ...

The train/bus combo is certainly the quickest with public transportation.
A cheap alternative may be swebus. It is a 3 to 4 hour ride with one stop-over in Norrköping. The ticket price seems to depend a lot - a roundtrip for a random day this summer is about 400 SEK for one person and about 1000 SEK for 2+2 persons.
Also there is the package option with ...

There are 2 bus routes that service Annapolis from Washington D.C. 921(Young Transportation Services and 922(Maryland Transportation Authority Commuter Bus), so you will need to get from Dulles to Washington and then with 1 or 2 transfers depending the route to Annapolis.
You can use Google's Maps to get the routes, which will be serviced by DC Metro ...

Generally speaking, you can go to http://9292.nl/ for any itinerary with public transports in the Netherlands. One useful trick is to enter the postal code (3198 LG according to the P&O website) as point of departure or destination. In the Netherlands, a postal code corresponds to a specific street (and not a town or part of a town), so you can use it to ...

So I've just been there and back, and I'm posting a bit more info in case it's useful to someone else. The single trip using public transport does take something between 2.5 and 3 hours, and cost in total between $18-$22 (single trip), but is definitely doable and convenient, particularly if you are travelling alone and with not much luggage.
First one has ...

According to Rome2Rio going through Amsterdam or Dusseldorf are your two quickest options.
NB: pedantic sidenote: There is also this option of going from Zurich (the Netherlands) to Eindhoven which would take you 3.5 hours by public transport.
