As we embrace modernity, various facilities have been developed to improve the
quality of life. One of them is public transportation which has impacted various
aspects of human life. In our country, there are several types of public
transportation such as buses and trains.
Public transportation is provided for the public to use, and we should take
advantage of it. If the local government can provide efficient public
transportation, it can lead to economic activities and increase the purchasing
power of the community. This can result in economic growth and revenue for the
government.
Using public transportation can reduce traffic congestion, especially in densely
populated areas. The use of light rail systems like commuter and monorail can
help reduce the number of cars on the road. For example, Kuala Lumpur recorded a
daily ridership of one million passengers for rail and bus services in 2016.
Public transportation should be improved and developed in areas with high
population density. Using public transportation can also free up the roads for
emergency services like ambulances and fire trucks.
Using public transportation can also ensure passenger safety. Public
transportation has a lower risk of accidents compared to private transportation,
which is prone to accidents caused by human error. Public transportation, like
buses and trains, has limited speed and dedicated lanes which can reduce the
risk of accidents.
Finally, using public transportation can reduce air pollution caused by private
vehicles. Fewer cars on the road mean fewer emissions, which can help improve
air quality.
In conclusion, using public transportation has many benefits such as economic
growth, reducing traffic congestion, ensuring passenger safety, and reducing air
pollution. It is a facility that the public should take advantage of to make our
lives better. |
