It is true that it help lessen the cost of money and reduce traffic it allows people to move one place to another without spending too much benefit people from saving money. Example is not buying fuel and car or motorcycle. However, due to people using public transportation as a means of traveling and the increase of people, public transportation can sometimes but overcrowded leading to some discomfort like not being able to sit properly, not having privacy or even possible theft incidents. Moreover, if you are an office worker, student or has an important event you cannot have an excuse of waking up late or preparing late as public transportation in some countries like UK their buses have schedule so in order for you to be able to ride the bus number you want you need to be early which can sometimes affects us physically and mentally. We cannot properly focus due to lack of sleep, getting panic attack or anxiety and our body is exhausted from waking up early to travel causing for our immune system to be weak leading to us getting sick like fever, cough or covid-19
In conclusion, increasing car ownership numbers could Also affect public transportation. But with the encourage of government to use public transportation would also have some effect. I personally, do think that public transportation in urban places could outdo this successfully.
