Many people agree that free public transportation should be available in most major cities.What are the advantages and disadvantages of this trend?

Nowadays, public

transportation

in big cities has an important role to control traffic congestion and

also

reducing pollution in the city.

Therefore

, many people agree that the government should provide free

tickets

on public

transportation

, particularly in major cities. As far as I am concerned, there are both advantages and disadvantages and

this

essay will discuss both views regarding using public

transportation

for free.

First

of all, one of the

first

benefits of

this

situation is that the number of society who take public

transportation

would be increased significantly.

This

would mean that many communities would use public amenities

such

as buses and trains

instead

of

because it can save more money.

In addition

,

this

situation would enhance their economy or profitable to the citizens. Another benefit would be to tackle traffic congestion problems on the road and reduces the amount of pollution around the cities.

For example

, in

Jakarta

, the biggest population city in Indonesia, communities who live in

Jakarta

are more likely to use their own cars rather than public amenities,

this

causes

Jakarta

to become the highest amount of traffic jams occur and a polluted city compared to others. Implementing

this

policy in

Jakarta

would solve problems in the current situation.

On the other hand

, despite the advantages, there are

also

drawbacks for the ministry in implementing

this

policy. The authority would not gain a fund from citizens because of conducting free

tickets

.

this

would mean that the government can not improve the public

transportation

facilities because most of the income came from selling

tickets

, which to modify and upgrade the transport modes. To sum up, providing free

tickets

for the public indeed gives a lot of benefits.

however

, it may

also

cause financial problems for the government.
