Transportation is playing an important role in every nation's development process and this is an
important aspect in our life for mobility. In my opinion, there are more advantages than disadvantages
of using public transportation. There are three reasons to support this statement. These reasons are
environmental effects of using public transportation, cost of public transportation, and accessibility of
public transportation.

Firstly, we can save our environment more by using the public transportation. We could take trains,
buses, airplanes to travel most parts in the world. Therefore, we should use the public transportation
than private transportation, such as private cars, motorbikes, private jets, and so on. We need to reduce
the gas that is emitted by the private transportations. If we do not make effort for the environment
issue, the earth could be dirty and we might not feel comfortable to live on it. Therefore, we should use
public transportation, such as trains and buses to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide. It could be a
small step for us, but it would make a big difference in the future.

Secondly, we should focus on the cost of using the public transportation. It is much cheaper than the
cost of private transportation. It would cost a lot to buy gasoline if we want to drive own cars. Also,
there are other expenses, such as parking license, registration fee, inspection fee, and so on to own cars.
Therefore, if you want to save money, it is wise not to own private cars and use the public
transportation instead. By saving the cost of transportation, we could enjoy better meal,
accommodation, or other services. If we have a choice between public transportation and private
transportation, we should choose public transportation, because the cost is very different. We should
spend least money for transportation.

Thirdly, accessibility of public transportation is good in large cities so that we would not worry about
waiting for long hours. It could save time by using public transportation, because private transportation,
such as cars need time to find a parking space. Comparing with the cars, trains, buses, and airplanes
usually have the better accessibility in major cities in the world. Therefore, we should use the public
transportation if we want to have good accessibility.

In conclusion, we should use public transportation, because it is good for environment, it is cheap, and it
has better accessibility. We might spend for other things, such as gifts or services by saving the cost of
transportation.
