ARGUMENTATIVE ESSAY : QUESTION 2 (PUBLIC TRANSPORT IN THE CITY)

Public transport is the transport that is being used by the public such as bus, taxi, and train. In the city such as in Kuala Lumpur, public transport is normally used by community to avoid traffic jam. I absolutely agree with the statement that people entering the city should use public transport. It is because, public transport is more cheaper, can avoid traffic jam, and also can reduce pollution.

For people that disagree with the statement, they normally will say that it is easy to use their own transport rather than public transport. They might be says that it is more comfortable. But if we look into other side, by using public transport as our transportation, it is much beneficial as it can help us being more disciplined because public transport has the time table that everyone must follow. Besides, we also can manage our time properly by being on time.

Moreover, public transport is cheaper than if we use our own transport. As we know, price of petrol is now RM2.90 a litter as it was increased by 20 cent. If we use our own transport, we spend around RM50 a day only for petrol. Therefore, by using public transport, we only spend RM10 and below only for one day. Thus, we can save our money that will spend on petrol or toll. We can use that money for other things or save it for the future.

On the other hand, public transport can avoid traffic jam. People that use public transport should not be worry about being late. It is because public transport is always on time. Plus, traffic jam can make us being stress because of the horn form the cars or the smoke from the lorry. Thus, by using public transport, we can reduce the stress and have a good mood at the beginning of the day. We just need to sit and wait until we reach the destination.

Next, pollution also can be reduced by using public transport. In general, the smoke from the vehicles that are carbon monoxide can cause the layer of atmosphere become thinner. Then, it will cause global warming which are the popular phenomena that happen nowadays. Besides, the sound from each of the vehicles can make sound pollution. So, we should decrease the uses of the vehicles on the road by using public transport. 

All the reason above, we can say that using public transport can give more benefits than using our own transport. It is not only for us, but also good for our country. Traffic jam, money, and also pollution are all can be reduce only by using public transport.
