The route is unnecessarily circuitous and transfers can eat up 30 minutes. Trains are often crowded, and because of so many transfers, I do not get much opportunity to sleep even I get seats. I get quite tired when I reach my destination.<br /><br />Taking a taxi typically takes only 20 to 30 minutes, but at a cost of at least $12. In the end, although taxis are expensive, I find that I tend to take taxis quite a lot.<br /><br />I say, please make public transport more efficient. Our buses are very slow, and the train network is still fairly limited.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8835404801266823652.post-16999602606645144182009-09-22T09:25:31.043+08:002009-09-22T09:25:31.043+08:00With car, you can move around rain or shine.

With the mobility of a car, you can accomplish many tasks in a day. <br /><br />There is no doubt about the benefit of a car. The only way to get people give up their cars is to make it inconvenient and expensive.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
