The transportation issue

According to Ahmad (2007) in his article “Solution to transportation woes,” public transportation is important to most countries. In 2020 Malaysians should be able to be transported around the country by using the public transportation, without using their cars. The Malaysian government goal is to make 40% of Malaysian people use public transportation. The train is the best way to transfer people and goods in many countries and should be in Malaysia too. Some of the advantages of trains are that they can carry a normal number of people, and they can help to decease the traffic in the big city. Also, using the train will decrease the use of the energy. The Malaysian government should improve its public transportation. Most public transportation companies lose their money in this business; because of that, the government should support them. The public transportation in general is faster than private transportation. The government should raise the gas price to force people to use trains and buses.

The world now is facing a big issue, which is the transportation problem. Lots of countries a retrying to figure out many solutions to fix this issue. Many people should start thinking about using public transportation rather than private transportation. Also, the train probably has the same speed that the car has or is faster, and the train fits many people in it. The public transportation such as using train has many benefits, for example, it's safer, it's comfortable and it's more environmentally friendly.

First, people should stop traveling by car and start to traveling by train because the train is more safe than cars. Moreover, when people travel by train, that will decrease the number of cars on the highways, which will make the accidents go down. Therefore, for people who could not drive for a long time, travel by train will solve their problem. For example, one of my cousins fell asleep while he was driving on the highway, and he had an accident. There is another important thing, which is the danger of the road; some people stop their cars on the highway because of a technical matter and that makes their life in danger. For example, if a person gets trouble on the highway and he has a lot of money maybe some bad people will come in and rob him.

Second, people should focus to travel by train, because it is more comfortable than travel by car. Also, travel by train gives people more opportunity to feel relaxed on their trip. Travel by train gives people the opportunity to enjoy their trip because traveling by the car needs some focusing. For example, when people travel by train they can enjoy and see all the beautiful views on the high way such as the nature. Furthermore, the train has the good qualities that the car does not have, such as restaurant and bathroom. When people travel by train they can sleep or play, because they do not need to be stressful about the road. On the other hand, if a person travels by car he needs to be awake until he reaches his destination.

Third, people should start to use the public transportation because that will help to reduce the air pollution. Using cars too much leads to polluting the air in many ways; for example, the smoke that comes out of the car. Also, when we use the air conditioners that means we burn more gas, which means increasing the air pollution. In addition, there is air pollution that comes from using the car tires. If people like to help their environment and reduce the pollutions there are many things to do. The first thing is that we should decrease using a car and use the public transportation, which will reduce the air pollution. Moreover, we can use the bus, which means we can stop more than thirty cars and replace it with just one car.
Finally, if people would like to help their environment and make it healthier, they can, but they should try their best to stop the private transportation and use the public transportation.

The world now is facing a big issue, which is the transportations problem. Lots of countries are trying to figure out many solutions to fix this issue. Lots of people should start thinking about using public transportation rather than private transportation. Moreover, the train has probably the same speed that the car has and the train fits many people in it.
