Having a reliable form of transportation is a necessity in this busy, modern world. Depending on the size of the city in which one lives, transportation options may be countless or limited. However, no matter if you choose to live in a big city or in a small city, it is always necessary to secure a good way to travel. Private vehicles and the public transit can be compared in terms of cost, convenience, and wellbeing.<\/p>\n","

Private vehicles and public transportation can be compared in terms of cost. To start, it is expensive to purchase a personal vehicle. For example, a new Toyota could cost $25,000 or more, and many families require more than one car to accommodate different schedules. In addition to this, cars require gas, which is not cheap. In contrast, public transportation is less expensive. For instance, a bus pass typically costs between three and four hundred dollars each semester. Thus, it is clear to see that there are many differences between the cost of private and public transportation.<\/p>\n","

The second difference between having one\u2019s own transportation and using public transportation is convenience. It is very convenient to have a car to carry a lot of people or things. For instance, a mini van can easily hold many children and large items such as household purchases or furniture. However, public transportation is less convenient. For instance, if you bought a medium-sized piece of furniture, it would be difficult to get it home on a bus. Evidently, the difference in convenience when considering these two methods of transportation is substantial.<\/p>\n","

Finally, there is a difference in health when someone takes public transportation compared to when someone uses their own vehicle. First, people\u2019s physical condition can be negatively affected by personal transportation. For example, people who drive their own cars for long distances may feel stiff in their back or legs. Also, driving requires constant focus, which may increase the commuter\u2019s stress. On the other hand, someone who takes the bus may get more exercise. For instance, they must walk to the bus stop. Additionally, while they are on the bus, they can relax their minds or read a book. The health of humans is affected differently by public and private transportation.<\/p>\n","

All in all, the difference between the public and private transportation systems can be measured according to how much money they cost, how convenient they are, and how healthy they make people. It is necessary for individuals to decide which one is more beneficial to their lifestyle. All people should question these differences in order to define the most suitable means of transportation for their personal situation.<\/p>\n"]}
