good things public transportation is convenient Chicago's L has a hundred and forty-four stations I took the subway all over at the city London subway has even more stations it has 275 stations Wow that is really convenient public transportation is also cheap you really don't need to drive a car so you also save money right because you don't need to pay for gas you can also save time when you use public transportation sometimes taking the subway is faster than driving in traffic that's good okay now what are the bad things well many people use it sometimes
you can't find a seat on the subway so it can be very crowded right you also need to walk or take a bus after the subway ride hey girls hi max you are late what took you so long my car wouldn't start Oh No too bad we don't have public transportation in small town yeah I had to use the traditional way of traveling the traditional way what is that walking vetti is looking at a travel book she imagines she is standing on a street she waves at a taxi she acts like she gets in the
