You Have a Better Choice

Hseih Hui-jin

     Every time when I sit comfortably in a bus, looking out of the windows, I can’t help wondering how come many riders down the street would give up such a convenient transportation means; instead, they volunteer to take the trouble of riding motorcycles. If you are one of them, I suggest that you can have a better choice—taking a bus.

     Aren’t you afraid of getting lost? Having been obsessed with incurable “streetphobia,” I am not suited to be rider. (I think people with acrophobia will seldom aim at being paratroopers.) Once I tried to ride to work—a journey of 30 minutes by bus or 15 minutes by motorcycle, but unfortunately, I was two and a half hours late on that say. I spent two hours riding on the roads I’ve taken for a thousand times! Taking a bus will save you from getting lost. As long as you get on the bus, you are saved. The only risk you have to take is missing the right stop. But don’t worry; stay there and the bus will take you back to your destination. (Believe me. I am quite experience.)

     Don’t you want to save money? Last Sunday afternoon my sister and I rode a motorcycle to the library. (Of course she was the person who rode it.) With efforts we found a space to park. When we came out from the library, we found the traffic police have taken the motorcycle away. We were fined 800 dollars. What if we had gone there by bus? Each of us only had to spend 24 dollars or at most 48 dollars if we should have missed the bus stop.

     Don’t you want to be graceful? To ride motorcycles, you must wear safety helmet unless you prefer being fined 500 dollars. Once the 500 dollars is secured, your hairdo is destroyed. Moreover, nothing can be worse than riding in the rain. You’ll get wet even though you wear the stupid, huge, yellow raincoat. Riding in the sunny day is nothing good, either. Exposed to the heated sunshine for a period of time, you’ll easily get sunburned skin. However, when you are on a bus, you don’t have to worry about the safety helmet, the hairdo, and you are sheltered from both the sun and rain.

     Thanks to such convenient transportation as buses, I am not afraid of getting lost, I can save some money, and I look graceful even when commuting. I won’t bother to ride motorcycles.
