Public
transportation
,
such
 as buses and trains, becomes more popular especially in big cities despite its functionality. Many considerations for persons to decide using these kinds of vehicles to move him
for example
 from his house to the workplace and vice versa. Time and money saving are the most common reasons for
people
 to have them as the
first
transportation
 option. As the business district is usually concentrated in a big city, it makes massive population growth which impacts more traffic jams and a very time-consuming to access using a private car or motorcycle.
This
 leads to more needs in using the train as the priority one to go to the workplace on daily business days as it has its own routes.
Thus
,
people
 can save more time on their daily business trips. On the other side,
people
 whose houses are far enough from the station, usually prefer to get on the bus as the main choice to reach their office. Even though they will face the bad traffic jam, it still gives more benefits to them than using their own cars or motorcycles despite the money spent. Choosing the bus will save the fuel, toll, and parking budget. Public
transportation
 gives
people
 the above advantages, but it
also
 still has some lacks. They are the limited amount of vehicles that always bring thrust situations and the inconvenience of the supporting facilities,
such
 as dirty toilets and no elevators for pregnant women or disabled ones.
Hence
, there is still a lot of work to do and ages in order to fulfil
people
's basic needs in
transportation
 like providing more convenient stations and vehicles. In conclusion, the use of public
transportation
 is good and gives numerous benefits in some aspects.
Therefore
