Band 4+: Ielts essay. What are the pros and cons of using public transport?

Note: Both the topic and the essay were created by one of our users.

Nowadays, we can see a lot of people who are using public transport. While some people argue that public transport is better to reach from A to B, others believe that it’s not a good idea. This essay will discuss the pros and cons of using public transport.

Let’s start with the cons of using public transport. We all know that most people who are using public transport can’t just afford taxis or their own car. In that case, obviously people will say “I can’t afford so then I can save money by using public transport”. However, your imagination can’t be as you think. Public transport usually is very crowded, especially on the bus, where you are just to blend in with a large amount of people. Because of that trouble, it makes it uncomfortable and hard to find a personal place to sit. Accordingly, you will get stress, and it increases your cortisol. Subsequently, you reduce your own energy, and it makes your ambition, motivation disappear in way to your job. What’s more you must wait for public transport while it doesn’t reach your station, which isn’t as effective as you think. In that case the best way will be just to take a taxi, it is more flexible in time and faster than all public transport. However, it also has pros.

If you had noticed, I said only the cons about buses. But if we look at the metro, it less crowded and faster than buses. Also, the cost is almost similar, which makes it affordable to people. However, you must learn how to read the map of the metro. But it isn’t hard. And if we compare it with taxi, then if you really can’t afford taxi, you rather choose metro than buses.

To sum up, we know that some kind of public transport has a lot of benefits, however because of crowd and lack of comfort makes it useless and killer of energy. In my opinion cons outweigh the pros, and I would rather choose taxi or will try to buy my own car than be ineffective and reduced my energy and time by public transport. ( 365 words )
