It is a debatable issue whether authorities should charge for using the services of public transport or not.
Although
I believe that using public transportation without any charges has numerous benefits, its negative effects can not be overlooked.
On the one hand, Linking Words
this
trend not only prompts the usage of public transit in cities but Linking Words
also
reduces the number of private vehicles on the roads. Linking Words
Moreover
, it Linking Words
further
helps to control pollution Linking Words
as well as
traffic. Linking Words
For example
, a bus can transport around 50 people at a time Linking Words
whereas
the same number of people use around 40 to 50 cars to travel from one place to another. Apart from that the financial burden of transportation expenses can be eliminated through Linking Words
such
initiatives, especially for the poverty-stricken. Linking Words
Hence
, they can use those savings to fulfil their basic needs including food and medicines.

On the other hand
, Linking Words
this
initiative may impact the budget allocated for other facilities like health services, education, infrastructure development and many more as it demands a huge sum of money for maintenance, gas expenses, employee salaries and other aspects. Linking Words
Furthermore
, governments have to improve the services of public transit to meet the demands of the citizens which may put an extra burden on the budget of government. Linking Words
In addition
, it is a challenge for authorities to maintain a quality and high standard without any user fees.
In conclusion, I would like to reiterate that free communal transport is good from the environmental and traffic perspective, but it Linking Words
also
creates a situation of financial instability.Linking Words
