Actually, the first thing I should mention is that public transport or driving your own car is a choice. I prefer driving my own car because it is essential in difficult situations. When you go to another place for work, you try to limit time, and you can go faster. Driving your own car is best, but the transportation system is good for many reasons. When you go to college, you also use transportation, and it can help with food expenses.
