Assess the importance of public transport in the modern city

In modern cities, where people are so busy doing things and working, the relevance of public transport is noticeable: not everybody has a proper transport and not all of them work in places nearby. To solve these problems, nowadays, places like Buenos Aires for instance, counts with subways and buses, without forgetting taxies, of course, but the aim of those transports is, clearly, to cheapen the costs of the tickets and help people move in their daily life. In modern cities, not only in our country, the existence of these services highlights most the need and the importance it has, because without them, it would not be possible for people, to move cheaply from one place to another.

            One major reason that emphasizes the importance of public transports like buses, subways and trains, in some countries, is its accessibility to its use in daily life and modern cities. Not everybody has a proper car, or motorbike or even a bike, so, taking one of these options could result sensible. It represents a cost, but nothing impossible to afford to. As a consequence of this, the great masses of people who do not have the opportunity to go home or to somewhere by their own can move with no problems and at any times. The advantage of having several schedules and lots of units to run helps passengers to choose not only the time but also the most convenient destination.

The next reason to talk about is the profitability using public transport, represents. Generally, distances between towns are huge, and in big cities it is usual to live in a certain village but working in another one. Travelling in a particular way may cost more than just paying a bus or a subway ticket. Long distances to move by car, for instance, translate into high money inversions if we do this daily. Consequently, when using public transportation, passengers can save money, or destine it to other uses without forgetting the contribution to their own economy. Indeed, they might take advantage of the saved money to go on holidays, buy useful items or simply saving it. If you have to travel to work without spending so much money, the ideal option is to take one of these alternatives.

The last issue why we should bear in mind transportation, is because it implies a public inversion, that is to say, it is a service that everybody can access to. The public transports given for the state such as trains, subways and buses tend to help people in every single possible aspect, not only in economic ones but also in the availability for everyone. As a result, it guarantees citizens mobility everywhere they need, eases overcrowded roads from cars and motorbikes and generates jobs, such as maintenance. As the public service that it is, it gives its passengers comfort and a number of options depending on how far you have to travel, how you want to do it and where you need to go.

All things considered lead you to choose public transportation and highlight its importance in modern societies and cities. It does not matter if the route is crowded or not, services like those above mentioned facilitate motion, cheapen costs and help users face their daily reality. It is still the easiest and common option for those who need to reach to a destination safely and sometimes rapidly, and, of course, something that will be always in vogue for those who cannot access a proper vehicle. As all the things, it will always continue developing according to passengers’ needs and social requirements.
