▶ Your Answer :
It is evident that in our current society, public transportation has tremendous importance in our lives. Some people think that people should not have to pay to use public transportation, while others do not. I, however, believe that people should pay to use public transportation. There are several reasons that I could discuss to support my argument, so I will limit to the two that I feel are the most relevant to the topic.
First of all, when it comes to high-quality service, people should pay to use public transportations. If people do not pay for using transportations, the government should manage the transportation system with insufficient budget or we should pay more tax for it. In a sense, it is true that we may happy to use our transportations for free. But, soon, we cannot satisfy with the quality of transportations. According to the survey which is conducted by Seoul Metro in 2000's, people's satisfying with the service quality of subway has been grown from 70 percents to 80 percents, with the 7 percents increasing of the fee during 10 years. In addition, actually, with augment of fee could serve more services including sufficient air-conditioning, new facilities and so on to customers. Where there is comfort, there should be money.
Another reason for my thinking this way is that people can have responsibility on public facilities through paying to use transportations. Paying for using something makes people more careful when they deal that subject or facilities. This applies in a variety of different but relevant situations. A good comparison to illustrate my point would be books in public library and those in private library or own homes. Books in public library, most of them are torn, painted or even lost. But no one make dirty her or his own book which they bought with their money. This same situation applies to use transportation. As this comparison shows government of companies ought to lay a fee on using the transportation.
All things considered, with the reasons I mentioned above, I believe that I have sufficiently and adequately explained my position on the matters regarding this topic.
