Suggested Answer Key
Most countries have public transport systems and some are better than others. However, what are the advantages and disadvantages of using them?
There are certainly some benefits. Firstly, it is cheaper than travelling by car. A ticket usually costs less than the petrol you would need to travel the same distance, especially for longer journeys. Secondly, it is faster than travelling on foot. It would take a long time and be very inconvenient to walk everywhere. Also, it is convenient. There are often public transport routes to many places.
However, there are also some disadvantages. To start with, public transport can be crowded and uncomfortable. No one wants to travel without a seat or squashed up against other people. Also, public transport operates according to a schedule. Therefore, at certain times, for example on public holidays and late at night, there is no transport available.
Overall, there are a number of benefits and drawbacks to using public transport. I think how useful people find it depends on their lifestyle and where they live.
