1.Many people argue that free public transportation should be available in most major cities. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this idea?
Nowadays
people
have different perspectives about the availability of free public transportation
in urban areas like Jakarta, Surabaya, and Jogjakarta. This
essay will suggest that free government
facilities to reduce traffic
and support workers to commute are the biggest advantages of this
, but higher taxes and people
walking longer than usual to use are the primary disadvantages.
On the one hand, the government
is obliged to facilitate their citizen with good infrastructures, such
as good public transportation
that has subsidies tickets
or even free to use. Most of the big city's problem is traffic
, due to
many private cars and motorcycles that are congested on the main road when it comes to work or school hours. When regulators can make the tickets
for public transportation
free, many people
will shift from to public transportation
. It can benefit many aspects, reducing traffic
jams and reducing pollution. In addition
, free tickets
will support many workers who work and live in different cities. For example
, many employees who work in Jakarta while
living in satellite cities like Bekasi, Bogor, and Tangerang need to commute from dawn and back until late at night.
On the other hand
, having good infrastructure and public transportation
requires much income and funds, and subsidies for free tickets
can heavy the government
burden. The consequence is a citizens should pay a higher tax to get free transportation
services. Furthermore
, while
using public transportation
we could walk longer than usual because the location may not be close to our building or school, and to migrate from one bus to another bus needs to take much effort, it can be dangerous for the people
who might not have the capability to do that, for example
, the elderly, pregnant woman and children.
In conclusion, free public transportation
is a government
facility to support workers to commute and can help to decrease traffic
are the advantages. However
, for the sake of reaching and using public transportation
people
should pay higher taxes and might walk longer.Submitted by ru.kabiru.biru on
