2. What are the main modes of transportation in your town to get work, school, shopping or for other purpose?
In my town there are some people who prefer get them walking, cycling or using the public transport but there are others who prefer travel in their own cars without taking into account what problems can that make to the environment.

3. How much is a liter if gasoline in your town? Whats the annual cost of using a private car and public transportation per person? (in euro)
Each liter of gasoline cost 1.396 euro. A normal person approximately expends 90 euros per month in gasoline if we multiply this quantity by 12 we are going to see that each person can expend 1080 euros per year and if we use the public transport we can expend 2 euros per day so if we multiply this by 30 we can see that each person expend 60 euros per month and then we multiply again by 12 we are going to bet as result how many money does a person expend in a year and this is going to be: 60x12=720. So if we compare we can see that using a private transport we can earn time yes, its true or well maybe not but one thing that is true is that we earn a lot of money using the public transport and a lot of energy too.
