Compare and Contrast Essay: Public (TTC) v/s Personal (car) transportation
Do you prefer riding a public transportation or driving your own cars when you hang out with your friends? I think everyone has their answers in mind due to different reasons. In my opinion, public transportation and personal transportation are similar and different in some ways.
First of all, driving your cars usually provides you with more freedom. It’s not only when you inside the vehicle but also where the vehicle goes. For example, when you are in a TTC street car, its rude for you to speak very loudly or make a phone call with your friends and talk about whatever you want. On the other hand, you can talk freely inside your own car. Also, TTC bus is always crowded, if you are not comfortable with that, driving your own car is a better option. Usually, people are able to reach their destination fast and choose the closest route by driving personal car. Besides, sometimes people have to walk a while after getting off the streetcar or subway, although it’s a way of exercise.
Secondly, the cost on public transportation is always less than owning a car. The monthly cost on TTC is about 120 dollars, and normally people will spend 30000 dollars on buying a new car or 15000 dollars on a second-hand one, this amount is hundreds times of the cost on public transportation. Furthermore, the cost of owning a car is not end yet, people must pay for their car insurance and there is no such cost on public transportation. Another point is the cost on parking, which people used to forget about. People have to pay for the parking when they go out for food, or watch movies at theater otherwise they are going to receive tickets. If people record the cost on parking everyday, the money they spend on this is huge. These kinds of worries are not going to happen if you ride public transportation everyday. And I think this is one of the main advantages of public transportations.
