35.Public transport

Q1-What's the most popular means of transportation in your hometown?

Q2-Is driving to work popular in your country?

Ans- I can safely say that the majority of people here get around by subway. The main reason is that you don't have to worry about a possibility of getting stuck in a traffic jam. Also, trains run frequently, therefore people get anywhere in time even during peak hours. In addition, this mode of transport is relatively inexpensive, reliable and really comfortable.

Q3- Do you [people] prefer public transportation or private transportation?

Q4-How do you go to work or school?

Ans- I prefer getting around in a private vehicle because I don't like to be dependent on other people, I like the idea that I can take as much stuff with me as need. I can speak loudly and sing. So, although many of my friends say that the amount of money I spent to purchase my car could generally finance public transit fees for years. I'm not planning to switch to mass transit.

Q5- Will you use public transport more in the future?

Q6- Will there be more people taking public transportation in the future?

Ans- Well, I'd love to cause I think this is the only way to fight global warming and environmental pollution, but taking into account the current situation in the world, I don't think I will. In my opinion, mass transit and social distancing are incompatible , especially during rush hour. And, even if I do my best to keep a safe distance, wear a mask and avoid touching surfaces, the risk of catching COVID-19 on trains and buses is quite high because this diseases is highly contagious.
