【Let's use public transportation! Shisei Dayori June 2023 (1)】
When the number of people using public transportation
increases, there are many benefits, such as alleviating traffic congestion,
creating bustle in the town, promoting exchanges between regions, and reducing
environmental impact.
● 5 benefits of using public transportation
1. earth friendly
There are various ways to reduce carbon dioxide, which
causes global warming, but it is said that ``reducing the chances of getting in
a car'' is the most effective.
2. gentle on the body
If you use public
transport, you will have to walk to the stop, so it is said that just using
public transport instead of driving for an hour will more than double your
calorie consumption.
3. traffic friendly
One bus can carry
50 people, but if you put two people in each car, it will be 25. Reducing the
number of times people use their cars will help reduce traffic congestion.
4. budget friendly
A fare is required to ride public transportation. But if
you add up the various maintenance costs such as gasoline costs, insurance,
taxes, etc., public transportation may actually be more economical.
Five. family friendly
The proportion of accidents in which the elderly are the
primary parties in all traffic accidents is on the rise. Maintaining public
transportation that supports local life will lead to a smooth return of
licenses and peace of mind for families.
