I have been taking public transport (i.e. bus and train) for the past 6 months. Here are my experiences.
Advnantages of public transport:
1. Better than driving. No worry about congested roads or finding a parking space.
2. More economical. No need to pay expensive ERP and parking charges
3. More relaxing, especially if I can find a seat. If not, I can rest standing up.
4. Taxis are expensive, especially due to the peak hour and other surcharges.
What are the disadvantages of public transport?
1. Overcrowding.
2. Long waiting time.
Considering the advantages and disadvantages, my preference is still public transport.
Without a car. A place so near may seems so far.
ReplyDeleteEg, I stay in Pasir Ris. To go Ikea at the other end of Pasir Ris, I need to switch a bus. The frequency of bus is low. I may need to take more then half an hour to reach my destination.
With a car, it only take me 10 minutes max.
Without a car, you can take a cab. Minusing parking time, you may actually arrive there earlier.
