; the one is that shipment times can have detrimental effects on human beings, and the second is that longer commute times do not have drawbacks.
Although
there are so many benefits in working and travelling long distances to your workplace or studying institutes, I side with the first opinion.
Firstly
, transportation imposes a great deal of money on the national budget, and every day millions of people use public transport so governments have to disburse money and it is not financially justifiable.

subsequently
, they prevent air pollution which appears by transportation.
Secondly
, physical pain paves the way for mental disorders so, by travelling far distances, people are about to be frustrated.

For example
, our industries which rely on rural districts will be damaged and a great part of our domestic product will be decreased.
Accordingly
, GDP will decrease, and it hinder sustainable country progressions. In conclusion,
although
there are so many benefits to working and studying in prestigious associations, it has lots of drawbacks to consider

as wasting the national budget, mental disorders, and destroying rural lives and industries.
