Three Reasons to Take A Bus

Transportation is an important thing that people often think about. Everyone needs transportation. Some people have to go to work, and some people have to go to school. Even if someone does not work or study, they still have places that they need to go. These days, there are many ways to get around such as bus, train, bicycle, car, and so on. Some people think about convenience, but some people are concerned about money. Taking a bus is the one choice that a lot of people choose. There are three reasons to take a bus. These include saving money, saving time, and saving the environment.

The first reason to take a bus is saving money. The most important thing why taking a bus save money is people who take a bus don’t have to purchase the car and maintenance. They don’t need to buy the car and don’t need to pay a lot of money to take care their car. For example, drivers sometimes have to bring their car to check the machine, and they have to pay for service. Also, drivers have to pay when they bring their car to wash. Moreover, people who take a bus don’t have to pay their money for gas and parking permit. They pay only fare that is cheaper than gas and parking permit. Besides gas and parking permit, insurance is the cost that drivers have to pay. Furthermore, many people suffer from ticket. People sometimes do something illegal when they drive. For instance, some people sometimes hurry to go and ignore to notice stop sign. Some drivers too busy and don’t see stop sign or other sign, so they do not follow the traffic law. Therefore, they usually get the ticket from the police. Also, cost of ticket is quite expensive. Due to above reasons people who take a bus don’t have to spend a lot of money for many things.

The second reason to take a bus is saving time. People who take a bus don’t have to waste their time finding parking. Although people who drive reach their place faster than people who take a bus, they have to find parking. Drivers sometimes have to spend a lot of time finding parking especially in business hour. They may need time more than people who take a bus. There is a good example for this case. Some drivers have to wake up early in the morning. They have to work at 8.00 am, but they cannot go to work almost 8.00 am because they cannot find parking at that time. Therefore, they have to arrive their work around 7.00 am to 7.30 am because that time is easy to find parking. On the other hand, people who take a bus can go to work almost 8.00 am because when they get off the bus, they can walk to work immediately. Also, people who take a bus will not get lost. Drivers may waste their time for finding the correct way. For example, Drivers sometimes may drive to the wrong way because they think about other things when they drive, or they have to go to the new way that they have never gone before. When they go to the wrong way, they have to spend time finding the right way. In contrast, people who take a bus are not going to face this problem. Moreover, taking a bus help to reduce traffic jam. If everyone drives, there are a lot of cars on the road. Certainly, everybody will face the terrible traffic and has to spend more time on their way.

The final reason to take a bus is saving the environment. Taking a bus can help community to save for environmental pollution. It helps to decrease smog. When people drive, the cars will release carbon dioxide that affect global warming. Also, global warming can cause many problems. Furthermore, taking a bus stop wasting gas. If people drive, they have to use gas for their car. Therefore, people who take a bus do not need to use gas for car. It can save oil because gasoline is produced from oil. In addition, if many people take a bus, they are going to need fewer roads and freeways. The government does not have to build the huge roads and freeways, so they don’t have to cut many trees. Therefore, people who take a bus can help their country to save a lot of trees. Clearly, taking a bus can save the environment for many reasons.

In conclusion, there are many good reasons to take a bus. Some people care about their money. Some people do not want to waste their time finding parking. Also, people sometimes take a bus because they do not know the way exactly, and they do not want to go to the wrong way because they do not want to spend a lot of time going back to the right way. Someone think that taking a bus can help to reduce the problem about a lot of traffic jam because they do not want to spend more time on the road. A lot of people really care about environmental problem. They don’t want to be a person who causes a lot of pollution. They know that a lot of cars can make a lot of pollution. They do not want to use gas because they want to save oil. Also, they do not want the huge roads and freeways because they do not want to destroy many trees. Taking a bus has many advantages. It can help not only people but also environment. Therefore, taking a bus is a better way for many reasons.
