I live in a crowded city, so naturally, there are different types of transportation systems in it to serve the needs of its residents. So, while people tend to use all of these transportations at one point or another, depending on their needs as well as the availability of those transports, one common transportation system, which commuters in my city use rather frequently, is public and private buses.
Yes, the sight of many public and private buses roaming on the streets and roads of my crowded city is very common, which starts from the very early morning and continue with providing commuting services until very late at night. Apparently, people from all walks of life and professions use this rather common and popular commuting system because of their hours of availability and comparatively low fares. In fact, one could get a bus in my city every 10 or 15 minutes, depending on their travel routes, probably because the demand for these bus services are not the same all over the city. Anyway, so if we take the low fares and the high frequency of availability into consideration, one certainly would be tempted to consider this common transport system “convenient”. But, if they think about the issue of their overall travel comfort, they wouldn’t really consider it that convenient, simply because these buses are too crowded most of the times where many people have to stand on their feet for a long period of time. Besides, since these buses have to cover many designated bus stoppages in order to serve a maximum number of commuters, it usually takes a long period of time for the commuters to arrive at their destinations.
Anyway, to be fair, I don’t really like this popular and common transportation system, primarily because it usually costs me a lot of time to arrive at my destination due to huge traffic problems. Besides, the seats in most of these buses are not very comfortable for riding unless you are using luxury buses for your trip. But, then again, I am not really willing to pay so much money to ride these luxury buses.
