1. I prefer to public transport. As a frequent traveler, I am constantly looking for ways to save money. And taking trains and buses are
the best ways to save money on your travel expenses. You also get to meet the locals and have the opportunity to make friends
with them while learning about their culture. Locals can also tell you about lesser-known destinations.
2. In Vietnam, traffic is no longer a minor issue. There are traffic jams, many roads are degraded, muddy, and flooded when it
rains...Additionally, some young people drive recklessly on the road. They do not strictly follow traffic rules and even play with their
motors on the street. To solve these problems, state agencies must participate in addition to raising public awareness about traffic
safety.
3. My accommodation is around 500 meters from the school.
4. Buses are probably my favorite mode of public transportation. I was car sick at first and detested taking the bus, but after a while,
grew accustomed to it. Now I'm at ease, and with only 200,000 dong for a monthly commutation ticket, I could go to work every da
without stress.

5. Cost of weekly bus fare in my city is 50000 VND

6. Overland travel by bus is the most common mode of transportation. It is not advised if you are not only traveling a short distance.

unnecessary travel.By enhancing government policies.
