2. What are people's attitudes towards the public transport system where you live
？
Well, the majority of people take the bus in my city because it is a very cheap form of public
transport. It only costs 1 yuan. But I really think that people still dislike taking the bus because it
is always packed, especially at rush hour around 8 am and 6 pm. You are usually shoulder to
shoulder with strangers
：
you have no personal space. It is not very pleasant. As a result, anyone
who can afford it will buy a car. Everyone will agree that it is a lot more comfortable than the bus,
even if it releases exhaust fumes and pollutes the environment. I guess it would be nice to have
more buses, and actually, there should also be some bus lanes for buses only, to help buses
circulate faster in the city. It would make traveling by bus more appealing to people, I think.
3. Do town planners pay enough attention to transport when developing new areas?
I think they do (pay a lot of attention) now. Roads are definitely a lot wider in the newer areas
of my city compared to the old city center. Nowadays, every new road counts at least 3 lanes on
each side. The problem is that most cities in China were built hundreds of years ago, so most roads
are narrow, because they obviously didn't have cars in the past. As a result, a lot of buildings have
been torn down
（ ＝
destroyed) in order to widen the roads, and to accommodate the growing
number of cars..
