America Needs More Public Transportation

With a declining or no use of cars can result in the reduction of pollution quite tremendously. They can by reducing the greenhouse effect. As the author reports in the article, “In German Suburb Life Goes On Without Care” by Elisabeth Rosenthal, “Passenger cars are responsible for 12 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe… and up to 50 percent in some car-intensive areas in the United States.” Therefore, with cars being a leading factor of greenhouse gas emissions, reducing their usage would have a positive effect on the environment. After days of near-record pollution,

There are many forms of public transportation such as: buses, trains, airplanes, trolleys, subways, and many more. Today these transits are not as widely used as they need to be in some areas, in my opinion. Of course they are the preferred method of travel inside urban areas; the American Public Transportation Association shows this data when they listed in 1999 the top thirty-five largest transit agencies. As seen, they are all major or larger metropolitan areas such as: New York, NY, Los Angeles, CA, and Chicago, IL (10/3, http://www.apta.com/stats/modesumm/35mbag.html). Rural areas need these wonderful services just as often too. People in these settings drive farther to reach their destinations so therefore they drive just as much as in major cities but have more driving time. So therefore air pollution needs to be taken care of everywhere, not just in metropolitan areas.

Public transportation has come to be something that many people of all backgrounds, ages, and statuses rely on. Without public transportation, it would be very hard for many to get around, especially students. It really is hard to imagine a world without public transportation, however, there once was a time.

Air is natural resource that everyone uses and abuses. Everyone wants their vehicle on the road and when that happens air pollution, carbon emission and greenhouse gases from many of them are emitted into the air which will vastly destroy this precious and commonly use resource.

Making the use of public transportation easy will make those families use it. It would also be better because maintenance of a car would be more expensive than the usage of public transportation. Public Transportation will not only decrease the number of vehicles, it will decrease the number of automobiles that are old and environmentally unsound. Apart from that,if only the immigrants use the public transportation, that would not be the solution for air pollution since the SUVs and the cars with big engines in the richer part of the city also cause air pollution in city of Los Angeles. As I mentioned before Los Angeles is renowned as the capital of the movie and the show world. Because of its reputation, the city has become a favorite spot among wealthy people and it adds a different aspect to our issue. In the certain parts of the city, luxurious and dashing life style is obtained by families. Most of these families have an individual car for each family member and these cars are mostly either SUVs or cars with high fuel consumptions. Therefore it would be a lot harder to solve this problem because of the fact that people with certain incomes are not likely to use public transportation. Efficiency of the public transportation should be as high as possible so people would actually have to use it. Los Angeles is so spread out that the transportation itself is actually a problem. If the City of Los Angeles

Air pollution is air with a lot of chemicals in it that makes it hard for us to breathe. We breathe 2 gallons of air per minute which makes it 3400 gallons of air each day. Above 50,000 people die in America due to air pollution. 80% of our lung disease are caused by the pollution of the cars. Indoor air pollution is 2-5 times worse than the air outdoors. Ways to reduce air pollution is by wearing mask continually to save ourselves from air pollution. Electric vehicles produce less air pollution because they don’t produce gas. Another way to reduce it is that ensure new vehicles had to be fitted with catalytic converters. With these changes it also reduces ozone pollution. Ozone air irritant your eyes, nose and throat. By making these changes it would be easier for everybody to breathe.

We need you and other members of the government to take More serious action to assist this issue. Forms of public transportation have been put in place to attempt to lower the amount of vehicle pollution, more emphasis needs to be put on them. Past attempts to assist the issue need to be reinvigorated, such as the “carpool lanes”. And, while I may not know enough to give realistic ideas on how to improve the condition, there are others more knowledgeable than me who would know how to improve the

If the public transportation improves, more and more people would take buses instead of driving. Then there would be less CO2 for our environment. Mohammad-Beigi, Nouri and Liaghati (2015) claim that the population in large cities is growing very fast, which means that transportation needs also increase really fast which leads to environmental problems. Therefore, in order to solve the problem, improving public transportation is a good solution. This study shows that driving cars really causes air pollution and it is harm for our environment. Phoenix is the largest city in Arizona, so the population growth in Phoenix will lead to the same problem that the three author mentioned. Improving public transportation will be helpful in decreasing the number of drivers and therefore reducing toxic emission. According to the PR Newswire Europe Improving public transportation in Brasilia (2009) claim public transportation is good because buses are more orderly, and they are safer and have less impact on the environment. It also shows that public transportation can help to reduce air pollution. Phoenix is an urban city like Brasilia, so it has a similar situation. Improving public transportation would be a good solution because it will lead to less driving. Then we will reduce exhaust gas

 There is a serious problem with our nation's roads and highways.  I find myself repeatedly avoiding trips to the city for this very reason, as I'm sure many others do as well.  This nerve-wracking congestion is even beginning to find its way into the suburbs and surrounding areas of large cities.  It is a   serious problem that affects everyone who owns an automobile, as well as, businesses that are dependent on reliable and convenient transportation.  To top it all off, this problem is getting worse every year.  The population of this nation is growing, which translates to an increase in cars on the road.  More people are moving to cities and the suburbs that surround them,

The early morning drizzle was constant, threatening to become actual rain. Della stood on the corner, her blonde hair gradually becoming heavy with droplets, guaranteeing a day of bad frizz. She’d been praying for rain for months, despairing over the ravages of the extended drought in Northern California, worrying about what it meant for the future, and yet she felt irritated that the rain had chosen to come today, the day she had to take public transportation.

I am here to talk to you about better way of lifestyle that changes the whole future of our planet regarding pollution and global warming.

Public transportation is serious need of a massive overhaul in this nation. We are in desperate need to catch up to the European standard of public transportation in this country. In Europe, citizens can travel across cities, bodies of water, and even counties with their state of the art public transportation system. Europeans are not nearly as reliant on cars and oil as the United States is because they have the much more practical option of taking the transportation provided to them by the government to where ever they need to go. They have set a model that the United States needs to strive for and meet in the near future.

Public transportation can help reduce stress caused by driving, save money, and also protect our environment by reducing the number of vehicles on the road. In order to get more people off the road and into the public transportation system we must increase the number of buses and taxis that are available. We must also increase the number of stops available for daily bus routes. With more stops on the map more people are likely to use the bus system. Each city or town will be able to decide where more bus stops are needed and make the adjustments necessary to provide better service for the taxpaying citizens. Of course, none of this is possible without adequate funds in each town/city and the gas tax is guaranteed to provide those funds. Providing more public transportation will help us reach our ultimate goal of protecting the environment and ourselves.

This evidence shows that urbanisation contributes a lot to the public transport system in Guangdong. There have built several different kinds of public transports that can connect to many other cities. People can use these public transports equally. By using these convenient transports, people can live a high-efficiency life because less time is spent on the way. That is to say, even those people far away from Guangdong can go to Guangdong quickly and access the resources in Guangdong more easily. So people can enjoy different kinds of resources equally because of convenient transport. Secondly, urbanisation brings more goods to citizens and people can improve their life quality by using these goods. According to Li & Yao (2009, p. 1995), electrical appliances are becoming popular because of urbanisation. For example, air conditional owner-ship is rapidly growing up in China. Some families even have more than two units. From this evidence, it can be showed that urbanisation brings more modernised goods such as air conditioners to citizens. Citizens can access these useful goods more easily and they are able to live a higher standard life by using these goods. They have the same opportunities to buy these goods to improve their life quality. This means the opportunities to improve the quality of life can become equal in the society. All in all, urbanisation builds an equitable

The use of the transportation system has made life in the world simpler, since we depend on transportation to transport us to and from our daily operations. Today, in this world we can go anywhere we choose to, due to how transportation has evolved over the years starting from the wheel. Transportation has made the world a very comfortable to live in, but sometimes as humans we sometimes forget to appreciate the small things in life like transportation. Our time in life is very valuable, and transportation helps supports our valuable time by transporting us to different places at a faster speed. If transportation decided to abruptly come to an end, the world would end up in chaos, because without transportation this world would be a difficult place to live in. If people have no means of transporting them themselves in this world, how would they keep their job and find a job, in order to put food on the table for themselves and their families. If people in this world today, just all of sudden get sick, how would they be able to transport themselves to the hospital. If there is no transportation how people go into stores in buy food, clothes, medicine, and other necessary items that help them sustain health. Transportation is one of the reason, why so many of us have food on our refrigerator and tables at night and clothes on our back. In this world today, there are many sick children in this world that need our support, and transportation is one of the
