Whether it is a way of life, a choice
or simply the most viable option for your travels, the fact remains
that millions of people use public transportation everyday around the
world. Whether on vacation or a resident of an area, most people find
that in some areas which are highly congested, public transportation
is not only an option, but actually the best option. For this reason,
we invite you to look at this topic about travel with us. Learn the
most common complaints, the most common plus's as well as a list of
the most well known and perhaps best places in the world to take
advantage of this option for travel.
Pros
- Great for the environment – In areas such as New York or other cities facing issues with smog and pollution, public transportation is doing its part to reduce carbon emissions.
- Convenient in some areas – Again using New York as an example, getting around New York is almost impossible in a car especially at rush hour. Many New Yorkers' never even own a car as the public transportation is so convenient.
- Cost effective – Less than gas and certainly less than a taxi ride, bus or train ride are usually one tenth the cost of other types of travel.
- A great way to “experience” a destination – In cities that rely on public transportation, taking a bus or a train will allow you to spend time with the locals and see the sights from a less touristy perspective.
Cons
- Germs - Millions of people all in one place and all at one time, you are likely to encounter germs.
- Restriction of your movement on a schedule – Buses and trains run on schedules and if you miss the ride, then you are obligated to wait for the next one or change your plans.
- Overcrowding - As this is a major form of transportation in some areas, you will likely be one of many on a ride at any given time. It is good to ride with a friend in situations such as this so you can watch each others backs and avoid thieves.
