Public transportation consists of
buses, trains, cabs and many more. There are pros and cons when dealing with
public transportation. One good thing about public transportation is that it
gets you to your desired destination. Although, public transportation has a few
bad things like delayed services, dirtied surroundings, and cramped spaces.
My experience with transportation
is not the best. I feel like I have bad luck whenever I travel back home from
work. For example, I usually have to smell a homeless person on the train and
it smells really awful. It smells up the whole cart the homeless person would
have their bags and all sorts of other stuff that they carry around with them. Not
only that but they would lay on all four chairs and take up all the space. “Metro
states that in recent weeks, an average of about 135 homeless people were
staying at the station each night and using it as a place to sleep. They say
that passengers complained about some "extremely unpleasant sanitary
issues." (Gallegos, 2013)
Which I agree because people sit in the train also they have to hold on the
pole to keep balance from falling. Not only grown folks but kids and babies
ride the train and it is very unhealthy for kids to be exposed to that type of environment.
