Pros And Cons Of Public Transportation

Transportation is about more than just moving people from point A to point B. It’s also a system that can either limit or expand the opportunities available to people based on where ever they are. In many cities, the areas with the most access to public transit are the most impoverished—and the lack of attention and investment leaves many without easy access to jobs, goods, and services which leads to poverty and debts.

Kanter says that creating rapid bus service could help increase efficiency and could be completed fairly quickly and require fewer funds than, say, laying rails. And as my colleague Alana Semuels wrote in a recent piece, more public-private partnership may be a solution that helps cash-strapped public systems increase their reach. According to Kanter, the problem has to be addressed, and quickly, especially in the face of growing economic disparity. “We need to think about how important forms of transportation are to the economy and quality of life.

Irrespective of man or women being on a nearby seat (especially if its someone of the opposite sex) it is part of decency to ask them if you can sit near, something that seems to be very hard for many of us in India to get into their
