Private or public transport?
I totally agree with Humayun Hyder that if we use the public transport, it will be better in all respects. But I will also like to remind my brother of the condition of public transport. The condition is so bad that one cannot travel by public transport. Of course, people are economically weak and they need to travel by local bus, yet this does not mean that they will travel like non-humans. Perhaps this is the reason why poor people are affected by air borne diseases and the problem is not just with public transport, the public hospitals are in deteriorating condition as well. But still the solution lies in improving public transport maintaining the security of the passengers and their assets.
The road traffic system and the vehicles must be upgraded to standard conditions. However, I would like to ask the writer a question--if he has a car, will he still travel by public transport? The rapid increase in the number of private cars is due to several reasons. Perhaps loss of time and feeling of insecurity have forced the commuters to buy cars if they can afford that.
