content
You need to ensure that your essay adequately answers the question. The task asked for your opinion, and while you discuss pros and cons of public and private transport, your personal stance is not clear.
structure
Your essay lacks a clear introduction and conclusion. Always introduce your topic and opinion in the first paragraph and summarize your argument in the last paragraph.
grammar
Improve your language accuracy with prepositions. For example, 'use private vehicles for their transport needs' instead of 'use private vehicles to their transport needs'
