What are some pros and cons of using public transport?

Public

transportation

is playing an important role in every nation’s development process and

this

is an important aspect of our life for mobility.

However

, public

transportation

has its own positive and negative sides and the following essay will discuss them. On the one hand, public

transportations

bring a lot of benefits for individuals and societies.

It is clear that

the existence of public

transportation

will automatically reduce traffic problems.

Besides

, if the utilisation of public

transportation

increases, it means that there will be a reduction in the consumption of fossil fuels.

Consequently

, it will reduce air pollution and global warming issues.

For example

, in many developed countries, the government encourage their residents to use public transport.

On the other hand

, public

transportations

have some weakness. It is because public

transportations

are not as safe as private car and some criminal activities on public buses or trains

such

as pocket thieves are still being reported.

In addition

, the public

transportations

are not reliable in terms of preciseness and accuracy. Many people have complained about the preciseness and the consistency of these public

transportation

schedules, which impacted their work or study time.

Thus

, some people still choose to use their own private vehicles. In conclusion, people have different opinions about public

transportation

.

Although

they have some weaknesses, I do believe that the benefit outweighed the drawbacks.
