People should be allowed to use their mobile phones when people use the public transportation such as buses, trains or airplanes.
Mobile phone members have surpassed ten million in Korea. Most people own cellular phone regardless of age. This social phenomenon induces conflictions between permission and ban of using the cellphone in public places. Especially, this problem is on the rise in public transportations because transportations are sensitive spaces about this issue. In spite of some people' thinking that using of mobile phone is just in the public transportation, I strongly believe that people should be not allowed to use cellular phones in the public transportation. That is because using mobile phone is able to disturb somebody’s time and also bell and drivers’ attention can be scattered by phone ringing or talking on cellphone.
The first reason is that using mobile phones can deprive of passengers' time in the public transportation. Modern people are pressed for time and tasks. They often use transportations to place that they can refresh themselves. Thus, people read books and sleep for a short time. However, phone noises hinder their time. For example, when I was a student in high school, I used to take buses for attending school. At that time, I studied late night because I should prepare a college entrance exam. So that I was always tired and I usually used to sleep in the bus. But sometimes I was not able to sleep because some people would speak by telephone in a loud voice. On all such occasions, I thought that I have really wanted to throw cellular phones into outside.
Moreover, though transportation drivers must concentrate on their driving for passenger’s safety, drivers’ attention can be scattered by noise of cellphone. Public transportations are used by a lot of people. And also, the drivers have responsibility for people’ safety. However, cellular phones give negative effects on drivers and it can make drivers to be mistakes. The best example of this is bus drivers because bus drivers should run bus for a long time and they are effort to fit bus schedule on time. It is an arduous work. By the way, if using cellphones is possible in the bus, people would speak a loud voice. Then, drivers cannot immerse themselves into their works and it can bring about in big accidents.
To summarize, I firmly believe that using mobile phones should be prohibited in the public transportations. The reason is that using cellphones can disturb somebody’s time and drivers can lose their concentration. Therefore, what prohibits using cellphones is the best way for both drivers and passengers.
