Widespread internet access gives us great convivence in our life, so does public transportation. Both are essential in our daily activities, but I personally believe that public transportation needs better support from our government. I feel this way for two reasons, which I will explore in the following essay.

First, public transportation service is crucial for people who are unable to drive or have no access to personal vehicles. Children, individuals with disabilities, and older adults need those services more than anybody else. Moreover, not everyone has money to buy a car, especially students. For instance, I remember I used to take trains and buses to go everywhere in New York City when I was just a college student. I couldn’t afford to have a personal vehicle, so using public transportation helped save me lots of money. The only disappointing thing to me is that most train stations are kind of dirty and messy. Therefore, I wish that the government can invest some funds to solve this problem soon.

Secondly, public transportation helps to keep traffic congestion down and reduces air pollution. I can’t imagine myself sitting in a car with an hour traffic just to go to work every day. It is absolutely painful and ridiculous. By taking a train I probably arrive to work faster than driving my car. In addition, it may help me avoid the stress that comes from daily driving. Thus, building more train and bus stations are critical to our society and environment.

In conclusion, I feel that our government should consider spending more money on public transportation. It would solve many problems for people such as saving time, money and environmentally friendly.
