Public transport - Marc Pons

It’s true that public transport gives people more independency, despite having a car or a motorbike, because it’s scientifically proved that public transport is cheaper than private transport, as well as cars or motorbikes. But, why do not people use public transport when they need it?

On the one hand, public transport is cheaper than any other type of transport , and in fact it’s more comfortable too. I usually go to school by bus, because I live 20 km away from Mahon, and the High School where I study is in Mahon. For example, during the bus voyage, I usually listen to mp3 music or read a book. One advantage of going to school by bus is the good frequence of bus lines in Minorca. In addition, the drivers are very polite.

On the other hand, some people say “oh! I hate going by bus because I hate to miss it”, but I think it’s a question of organisation that some people have, because if everybody was on time, these false arguments wouldn’t exist.
In conclusion, I think that people may change, but it’s a consciousness problem of a lot of societies. Moreover, it’s a political problem, because if presidents and other authorities taught people why public transport is good, these situation wouldn’t exist.
