As society develops, many issues arise regarding our lives and raise heated debate among people. One such issue that arouses our interest is whether people have to pay. Transportation fees or not People from different walks of life may take different stances on this contentious issue. Personally, I disagree with the given statement and there are two reasons that could validate my position.
First, the quality of transportation would be affected negatively. If people do not pay transportation fees, they will use the transportation system, such as buses and subways, without cares. So the parts of vehicles would be out of order, which leads to inconvenience. It can cause the vehicles to come late or serious accidents. As a result, the quality of transportation system would be damaged and many people will not use it.
According to a survey conducted by survey conducted by MBC, one of the Korean public broadcasting stations, more than 66 percent of people responded that they would use the transportation system without any cares if the transportation was free of charge. In the survey, a thousand people in the Seoul metropolitan area, the respondents said that they will write something not important on walls, kick the chairs and push the windows carelessly. It clearly shows that free transportations system can cause malfunction in vehicles that can bring about accident and deteriorate the quality of transportation system.
In addition, the free transportation system will disorganize the whole society. To explain, if the transportation network is free of charge, the government will increase taxes to operate the transportation system smoothly. Otherwise, the government cannot give a financial help to critical area. So those who are in desperate situation cannot get appropriate help from government. It can make people confused.
Let me use an example of Swiss, the free transportation system made the society complex. The government imposed much burden on individuals, which means that people should pay more tax. Many people disapproved the increase of the tax. Therefore, the government had to cut the financial support to indispensable places, such as health care system. Because of this, more than a million of people who do not have enough money to see a doctor had to endure their illnesses. It indicates that free transportation system can cause many problems.
All in all, because of the reasons mentioned above, people should pay fees on transportation systems. |
