Now I’m going to talk about a newly enacted law that I completely agreed, but I would like to see one part of it change it. It was introduced about two weeks ago and concerns bus stop locations in the city center. According to this rule, all buses are now required to stop only at bus stations rather than a multiple stop throughout the city. I understand that the purpose of law, it probably aims to reduce traffic congestion and improve efficiency in the city center. In that sense, I support it. However, I believe it creates difficulties for students, school children and workers who rely on public transport for their daily commute. Many of us need to get off near our universities, schools or workplaces, but now we are forced to walk a longer distance from central stop, which makes more time and effort, especially during busy morning or in bad weather. So if I could change one part of this law, I would allow a few additional bus stops near the educational and business center. This would make commuting more convenient for the majority of people who rely on the bus everyday.
