Efficient public transport or well preserved roads?

An efficient level of transportation in towns requires both well preserved and safe roads and (an) effective means of public transport. If it would be necessary to choose one of the two options because of the financial limitation, (comma) I would choose a more efficient/ effective public transportation system for two specific reasons.

Public means of transport can be used by everyone in order to as long as they pay a fee for the ticket. This is greatly important because if the aforementioned would not exist, comma people would have to buy cars or bicycles, comma and this which is not affordable for some people. Owning a vehicle demands paying for fuel , for taxes and possible breakdowns, burdening the owners. Additionally, comma they can not everyone not everyone can drive for a lot of reasons. Some of them  do not have/ lack not the cognitive ability or physical ability, like/ such as blind people, and some others may do not want to learn how to drive; semi colon thus, comma the only way for them to be transported is within the public system. For this reason, the state must act for so that citizens to not be are not deprived from the convenience that is offered for by the public transportation system.

Another extremely important reason is the environmental aspect of the issue .Boosting the public means of transport has/ will certainly have a  positive impact in on the decrease of carbon dioxide emissions. This happens because the more improved the public means of transport are, comma the more people are motivated to use them and, in that way/ therefore/ hence some people avoid to use their own vehicles , thereby reducing the number of vehicles at/ on the roads. The authorities must definitely encourage people to use the public one (buses, trams or even trains) because instead of that otherwise a lot of people are inevitably going to use their owns own car, for example, while a lot of them want to be transported at the same place and time.

To sum up, it would be more convenient for citizens to have both a good/ proper/ immaculate road network and an adequate public transportation system, but the boost/ prioritization  of the later is gravely significant for individuals and the environment. Only by adopting greener policies and everyday practices, will humanity be able to anticipate a brighter future. 


Faye, your blogging effort is great. We will work a bit more on sentence structure, punctuation (be careful with that!), use of linking phrases and some advanced grammatical phenomena (inversion. inverted conditionals, cleft sentences), but overall, you stated your thesis (main opinion) in paragraph 1 and managed to justify it in the main body of the essay. Take a look at my corrections which we will discuss shortly.
