Nowadays it is impossible to live without a car, a bus of an airplane. They play so important role in our lives that we depend on them. We must travel long distances and it is impossible to do on foot. Even on short distances people use machines more and more often. The technology allows us to have more pleasant and free of physical work life.
When I think about many different means of transport and their advantages and disadvantages, I believe that the car is the best one of them. It has many advantages. It gives us independence because we can go anywhere and wherever we want to. It is impossible with the bus for example. It saves our time because we do not have to wait on a station for the vehicle. When we need to go somewhere we just go to the garage. Sometimes bus stops are far away from the place we want to go to. With a car it is not a problem because we can drive and stop everywhere. I can stop in front of a friend's house and the car will wait for me. Moreover, cars are more comfortable than other means of transport. There are no other people inside and you can sit all the time. There is an air conditioning, not like in buses in which it is always too hot or too cold. More and more young people make driving licenses. They want to be independent and travel in comfortable conditions.
However, there are some disadvantages of the car. It is the mean of transport which kill most people. Sometimes irresponsible people drives after drinking and this is a cause of many accidents. They threaten not only themselves but also other people who are in the car of who travel in the same street. Cars are expensive in both the price of a new car and maintenance of the car we have. Especially petrol is very expensive in our country. Moreover, the fact that cars use petrol makes them causing pollution. They generate many fumes which pollute the atmosphere.
The other means of transport may be less comfortable but they are also important. Sometimes we have to travel a very long distance and we must do it alone. Driving it in a car would be very tiring. In this case we should use a train or a bus. When we travel in them we can sleep, read a book or listen to music and we do not have to worry about controlling the vehicle. For very long distances an airplane is the best mean of transport. It is fast and safe. Bicycles are good for short distances and they do not pollute the air.
We can choose between many different means of transport nowadays. We can decide which one would be the best for the distance we need to travel. We should not depend only on one mean of transport but choose the one which is best for particular situation.
