As world is developing rapidly with the modern technology, public transportation is also improving such as natural gas bus and subway. When it comes to transportation, some people argue that people don't have to pay to use public transportation because people usually use their personal car. However, from my point of view, they have to pay to use public transportation. Now I will give you some reasons.
To begin with, to manage and control all public transportation, people have to open their wallets. To be specific, government doesn’t have enough money to manage whole public transportation. What's more, it needs many public workers for supervising transportation and much power to move vehicles. For example, in Korea, there are many labors who work for public subway. They have to be paid for cleaning station and controlling train. Moreover, when people want to complain or request something for their convenient, public transportation administrators are needed. With all of these huge amounts of money, accordingly, one government can't deal with alone. Although people pay taxes to the government, the former outweigh the latter.
On top of that, if public transportation is free, many people will be trying to take subway or bus undoubtedly. Too many people cause the problem. That's because individual cars are very expensive to buy and maintain due to the oil price. Also, in the modern times, public transportation is very comfortable and fast that can attract a lot of people though they have their own car. For instance, many people are using public bus in Korea. According to the survey which finds the reason why people are taking bus so much, 80% people say that bus has improved increasingly with good design and using economic gas. Moreover, the last people say that it is cheaper than use public transportation. In the end, more public transportation is free, more people gather.
In conclusion, I strongly believe that people have to pay money for public transportation. The reasons are that much money is needed to sustain all the system of public transportation, and too many people will gather and cause serious matter. |
