Benefits of Using Public Transportation
Public transportation by train, subway or bus is a great way to commute to work. Rather than fighting traffic you can sit back and relax, read a book or listen to music. Using public transportation just one week per month has a very positive effect on the environment, so park the car and take the subway, train or bus to work.
- Public transportation eliminates stress. Are you tired of yelling at drivers that cut in front of your car? Are your nerves completely frazzled by the time you get to work? Take public transportation to work and you will no longer feel the stress of the daily commute. You will be amazed at how much impact eliminating the daily drive to work has on your life.
- Public transportation is a bargain. Using public transportation is a great value when compared to the rising price of gasoline. You will save thousands of dollars by eliminating the cost of vehicle maintenance and insurance, and saving additional money by purchasing a monthly commuter pass. The monthly commuter pass has unlimited rides on public transportation for thirty days. The monthly commuter pass is sold at a substantial discount to encourage people to use public transportation.
- You'll make new friends. You'll be spending your daily commute with many of the same people each day. All of you will have at least one thing in common: you realize the value and benefit of using public transportation. By sitting next to other commuters you may discover you share other similar values. Some commuter trains take things a step further and have a coffee cafe on the way to work and a social or happy hour on the return home.
- Save the environment. It is estimated that each car emits thousands of pounds of carbon dioxide each year. Using public transportation helps eliminate the carbon dioxide that causes the green house effect. Using public transportation will help preserve our environment for many generations.
