What are the advantages of using public transportation? Nowadays, people have many choices of commuting to work including public transport because it brings them a lot of benefits. First and foremost, by using buses or trains for travelling, they can save a large amount of money. It can be clearly seen that when people drive a private car or a motorbike, they must pay for not only the cost of petrol but also the regular maintenance fee. Furthermore, the price of buying one car or motorbike is very expensive whereas buses and trams are for everyone, even the lowest-income people. Another advantage | want to mention is that using public vehicles is a method to reduce air pollution and traffic jams. Especially in the city, when the increase in the number of vehicles makes the road more crowded, the public transport system is developed to deal with traffic jams and reduce the pollutant released by petrol-run vehicles. Therefore, using more public transportation is beneficial to everyone. 3. Do you think that governments should encourage public transportation more? In my opinion, the government should encourage people to use public transport, because it has a lot of economic and environmental benefits. Here are some ways the government can encourage citizens: Firstly, the government should decrease the fares of public transports. For instance, if a journey of 30 kilometres used to cost $20, the government can reduce these fares in form of promos and discounts. This will draw people's attention to public transports. Also, Buses and trains should be kept clean and well managed in such a way that will attract people. For example, my sister came to visit me from another city some time ago. She boarded a train. | was at the train station to pick her up when | saw her stuck to the door. | moved closely to have a view of what was happening. | saw that her clothes were trapped and we had to cut her cloth before we were able to leave the station. She was so embarrassed and vowed TOP 1 TRUNG TAM CO NHIEU HOC VIEN SG HOU CHUNG CHI QUGc TENHAT ViETNAM- 2020 ©Zenlish never to take any public transport again. There are so many cases of neatly dressed people entering buses and coming out with a stain or a tough mark on their clothes. All these are turn-offs to people. Special considerations should be given to the aged, children, the disabled and pregnant women. People in this category should decrease their fares. Government should hire trained personnel to cater for this group of people specially. | watched a woman on TV last weekend, she was so old and haggard She could not even walk straight into the bus. She had to swing her legs before she could maintain her balanoe. There was no one to help her and she was left at the station because she couldn't move fast to join the bus. Terminals and stations should be situated closer to residences, Shopping Malls and offices for easy access so that people won't have to trek a long distance. Transportation should be made swift and reliable by constructing alternative roads for public transports alone. This will assure the people that it is hassle-free and the issues of traffic jams will be eradicated.
