Nowadays, we can go wherever we want easily and there are many different ways for us to choose for transportation. We can make good use of the public transportation such as buses or the MRT, and also we can drive by ourselves.

Taking the public transportation is a common way for many people to travel from one place to another. Many people use the public transportation every day. Taking the public transportation allows one to relax, read or nap during the commute instead of fighting the stress and feeling the road rage. In addition, it gives us plenty of quality time to watch people, as well as get to know our "neighbors." But there are still some disadvantages of taking the public transportation. For example, it cannot lead us to our destination directly, so it takes us more time than driving by ourselves. Thus, some people think that driving can be more convenient than taking the public transportation.

More and more people have their own cars nowadays. When driving, drivers can drive whenever they want and it is usually faster than taking the public transportation. They can decide where they want to go instead of being controlled by others. Additionally, driving by ourselves can save some time on waiting. However, there are also some disadvantages of driving. For example, we have to pay for the gas, maintenance, insurances, and the parking, etc. And sometimes it is hard to find a parking place.

Taking the public transportation and driving are two common ways for us to go to another place. And they both have good and bad sides. No matter which one we choose, we should be thankful that we live in a convenient society today.
