Sample Answer
Public transport is a medium of transport that is provided by a government or a private entity for the public. Highly convenient, reliable, and affordable as well, this medium of transport is a boon to millions of people worldwide. I also find it very beneficial and it has proven to be of great importance time and again.
With so many people traveling from home to work, city to city, or interstate as well, it is important for them in order to commute from one place to another.
I personally find it to be a great service, as well as a blessing whenever any urgent task has required me to travel without a personal vehicle. There have been various instances wherein my car or motorcycle was not working, and I had to reach my workplace, or when I had to travel to another distant city and I couldn’t travel by car. One such memorable incident took place when I was in college. My summer vacations were about to end, and I suddenly fell ill. I could not use my car to travel due to fatigue, so I decided to take a bus. Reaching college was very important, so I booked my tickets, and reached the bus station.
The bus started after a little while, and I sat down on my seat, looking out of the window. It was a very relaxed journey, as I did not have to drive, and I could eat snacks and read a book. I also had conversations with my fellow passengers, and got time to look out beautiful views from the window. Though I chose the bus travel as I was ill, but the amazing journey that I covered, changed my perspective on bus travels as well. If I get a chance to travel by bus again, I would definitely choose it again.
