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.

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.
