Polished transcript:

Male Female

I use public transport on a fairly regular basis, particularly on weekends. I tend to rely on buses to get to school as they are quite convenient and relatively affordable compared to other means of transport. Although they can sometimes be a bit crowded or delayed, I still find them a practical option for daily commuting. At the same time, I don't use public transport that often on weekends. I usually prefer more comfortable options such as taking a taxi or traveling with friends. All things considered, I would say I use public transport around 4-6 times a week.

The vocabulary used is adequate and appropriate for the topic. Phrases like 'fairly regular basis,' 'relatively affordable,' and 'practical option for daily commuting' are well-chosen. However, the range of vocabulary could be expanded to demonstrate greater flexibility. Try to incorporate more sophisticated or less common vocabulary related to transportation and daily routines. For example, instead of 'convenient,' you could use 'expeditious' or 'accessible.'
