The Value of Public Transportation in Cities: Buses, Trains and Trolleys

Public transportation is what we all need. We need, buses, trains, trolleys, etc. We need something to get us around besides our cars - especially now that the price of gasoline is so high.

All big cities should automatically have transportation for their people. I am originally from San Francisco so I know how important public transportation can be. I never had to drive a car when I lived there because the streetcars and buses were so reliable and comfortable and on time. And the fare was fair.

Just remember, many people are just too old to drive anymore and how are they supposed to get around? Many people are handicapped and would really enjoy public transportation. Many people just don't want to drive their car everyday. Many people want to conserve on gas so they would enjoy public transportation-be it, buses, trains, a trolley, or some other form of transportation. And also there are children who have to get around-and they don't drive.

I know public transportation is expensive, but it should be considered at least for every large town.

There are too many cars on the road and we really need that public transportation.

Now, there are too many accidents because of the heavy traffic and think of all the casualties of those accidents. Think of how busy the hospitals are kept just to take care of the people in car accidents. Think of all the agony those accidents cause families. And worst of all, think of all the deaths from car accidents because of heavy traffic.

We really need public transportation.

With buses, trains, trolleys on the streets of our cities we could begin to save money by having less accidents because less cars automatically translates into less accidents. At least it would be a start in the savings of hospital bills, car repairs, human suffering, etc.

With public transportation people would be better able to go to and from their jobs.

People would be able to keep their appointments without the problem of fighting the traffic and parking and all the trouble that goes with driving yourself.
