Have you ever considered taking the buses, not the car, to your destination? According to his essay “The Bus, a Modern Panacea,” Lester Detroit states that the VTA system offers a fundamental solution for not only the SJSU student but includes most people who commutes to school or work. He claims that cars have the negative side effects for the environment problems; furthermore, cars are the problem of both traffic congestion and wasting time and money. He insists that students should “drop their car culture and create a new bus culture.” Bus is the “cure-all solution” for students. As for students, I strongly disagree with Detroit’s point of view that VTA system is a suitable transportation for students to commute. It is important for students to realize that not a lot of people know how to transit, taking the bus is inconvenient, safety concern, and pollution.

Maintenance: Without money how would the transits be clean and pay for gas? Alone it takes $65 million to construct roads and railways to improve, but without people paying they won’t have any money to enhance anything. What i mean by this is that if the head of the transit department comes to an agreement that people shouldn’t have to pay for a ride, it

Politically, governments are changing how Infrastructure spending is allocated. More taxpayer dollars are being spent on mass transit initiatives such as the City of Calgary’s green line project which aims to create a new train corridor with the municipal and federal governments guaranteeing a cumulative $3.08 Billion towards the project (“Green Line”, 2016). The implications for the auto industry, including fix auto is that the transit projects aim to reduce emissions by having less cars on
