Well, public transportation includes a variety of different vehicles, including buses, trolleys, commuter trains, street cars, cable cars, van shuttle services, ferries and water taxis. I'm sure, public transport is very important to everyday life. It benefits individual riders, their communities, the economy and the environment.
 Individuals who regularly use public transport enjoy a number of benefits, not the least of which is financial. In difficult economic times, choosing public transportation can be a great way to save money and stretch the family budget. Using public transportation also creates a healthier, more active lifestyle for individuals. Walking to and from public transit stops allows people to gain additional daily exercise. Public transportation also increases mobility options for non-drivers, especially senior citizens. Besides, using public transport can cut down on commute times, lightening people's schedules and affording them more spare time.
Moreover, public transportation benefits the community that it serves. Firstly, public transportation provides easy and convenient access to all that a city has to offer. In large cities where parking expenses are high, public transportation allows individuals to visit local businesses and attractions more frequently for less money. In rural areas, public transportation fosters the growth of business districts and shopping malls. It also encourages more interaction between residents, which results in a stronger, more unified community. Public transportation helps communities financially - if individuals can save money on transportation, they can spend more at local stores.
The growing popularity and use of public transport makes a lasting, positive impact on the environment. public transportation also emits 95 per cent less carbon monoxide per mile than a private vehicle, resulting in less pollution and better air quality.
