B-Many has claimed that the transportation system has benefits.

T-What is public transportation

S-I agree that a good transportation system has its own benefits.

O-I will share three benefits

Firstly, the transportation fee is not so high and is affordable and we won’t need to spend so much cash and we won’t need to buy a car as they are very expensive nowadays

Secondly, there are different  types of transportation: taxis,buses, trains and cable cars. They are designed in alternative ways since their transportation is different from each other.

I agree that transportation systems have their own benefits as it can help the earth by reducing the amount of cars and carbon dioxide.

The three benefits are public transportation. Reduces air pollution and less fuels burned means better air quality for cities than public transit. It can also improve road congestion as no one likes to be stuck in traffic, but the rising populations demand improvement in road infrastructure that can be costly and take a lot of time.As it also support transportation equity which makes it accessible and affordable transportation for everyone in the community resulting in fair distribution of transportation resources, benefits, costs, programs and services based upon differences in income, ability and other factors affecting transportation choice and impact.

# data[].attributes.body
B-  many people always take public transport everywhere and it is fast
T- this then makes people ponder are there benefits of a good transport system
S- i agree that there are benefits of a good public transport system
O- i will now share the 3 benefits

Firstly, the transportation fee is a very affordable price, and we don't have to buy a car and it saves a lot of money as we don't have to pay to repair the car if it's damaged or out of fuel. The money that we spent on public transport is way lesser than the money we spent on a car.

Secondly, our country will have lesser greenhouse gasses in the air, as the gas that is contributed by the car, which would surface into the atmosphere and the carbon footprint of the country increased.

Thirdly, having a good transport system means that people can be on time to their destination at work or meeting up with your friends.

In conclusion i have shared 3 benefits of good transport system recommended individuals to make it a habit to take the public transport rather then using their own vehicles

B: Many people claim that a good transport system has a lot of benefits.
T: what are the benefits of a good transport system
S: I agree that a good transport system has its benefits
O:I will share 3 benefits.

Firstly,the transport system like MRT is very convenient for us as it is rapid that the transportation between stations is at least about two minutes. The MRT helps us to not be late for our school or our jobs

Secondly,
it helps to reduce the risk of air pollution. Public transportation contributes to a healthier environment by improving air quality and reducing oil consumption. More people onboard the transport system means there will be less vehicles on the road which means there will be less fuel consumption and also lesser smoke coming out of the vehicle's exhaust. The smoke coming out of the vehicle produces quite a harmful amount of gas which can affect the pedestrians breathing the air.

Thirdly, public transportation improves commuters productivity. Being in a public transportation means you can do something productive like sleeping, playing your phone or reading a book while someone else is driving the vehicle but if you are in a car you cannot do anything but to focus on driving.

B -  Many people would like a pleasant commute when travelling from place to place.
T - This raises the question, what are the benefits of a good transport system?
S - I agree to a large extent that there are definitely benefits to having a good transport system.
O - I will be sharing 3 main points regarding this topic.

Benefits:
1 - Taking public transport contributes to a healthier environment by improving air quality and reducing oil consumption, and through better land-use policies.
2 - Public transport can help improve community mobility as inter-city transit systems help riders move throughout the area, regardless of the neighbourhood they live in.
3 - Public transport can also provide an equitable transportation system it is a way to expand the workforce and improve a city  economy by giving more people the ability to get to their job.
4 - Fuel efficiency can be increased as one of the most technical benefits of public transportation is the ability to outfit buses and other public transit vehicles with alternative fuel sources.
5 - There are also economic benefits as every dollar invested in public transport  can yield around $4 in economic gains.
6 - Public transport can also improve community health as urban planners have looked to public transportation to facilitate improvements in community health and well being. Public transit riders must walk from their front doors to the nearby transit stop and back, which increases physical activity to help address the modern obesity epidemic.
7 - Public transportation improves commuters productivity as when someone is behind the wheel, they should only be doing one thing: driving. Many states even have laws against using a smartphone at all while operating an automobile. This multi-tasking limitation of driving can result in hours of ineffective time.Alternatively, riders of public transportation have the ability to be more productive with their time during their commute. People can sleep, read, and relax on their way to work.

In conclusion, there are a lot of economic gains through a good transport system. I hope we Singaporeans can contribute to a healthier method by taking public transport.

(a)i usually take the bus to school and back home. The bus is very convenient for me as it is very fast to travel from one place to another.

(b)my thoughts for those videos is that people should behave properly in public to not have any bad image for their school. we should behave properly in public by not vandalizing the walls or any public things.we should not cause too much noise in public as it will cause the people around you to get mad because of the noise level.

# data[].attributes.body
B - Most of us would have taken public transport once in our life as it is cheap, efficient and reliable.

T - this raises the question of the benefits of having a good transport system.

S -  I agree that there is many benefits of having a good transport system

O - now I will share the benefits of having a good transport system with you.

First off, having a good and efficient transport system means that people can be on time to their destination at work or meeting up with your friends.

With a good transport system that many people take everyday, it can be inexpensive to take a ride everyday instead of owning a car or using a ride-share app like Grab or GoJek.

Thirdly, having a transport system that is reliable and that does ot breakdown of often is good as the commuter can easily trust the system to take them to their destination without any delay.

In conclusion, having shared with you some benefits of a good transport system, I would like to recommend why you should be taking the transport system instead of owning or renting a car.

Part A

What do you think are the benefits of a good transport system?

Firstly, what I think makes a good transport system is that the trains must be on time and more importantly, it’s cleanliness. SInce if trains arrive late, there will be major disruptions leading to people being late for school or work and

B - Many people in Singapore are dissatisfied with the transport system.

T - Does Singapore have a good transport system?

S - I agree with the statement.

O - I will share why Singapore’s transport system is excellent

Firstly, Singapore’s transport system is considered one of the best transport systems in the world due to its transport efficiency, safety, convenience, sustainability, and last but not least, affordability.

Secondly, The train lines in the transport system allows you to travel from one end of SIngapore to the other efficiently. Unlike the US where you can only change lines by taking the train downtown then switching to the line you need just to get to your station.

Thirdly, The trains usually arrive on time since the trains are driven automatically instead of manually which services can be centered entirely around passengers demands. Trains can run 24/7 since there isn’t a driver required to drive the trains.

In conclusion, having shared these points above shows that Singapore’s transport system is a good and reliable system. This explains why people usually take transport.

a) I would usually commute by taking bus from home to school or either back. It is the transport that i would take everytime to go school since the busstop is near my house and the gate of the school is closed to the place where i light off.

b) I think the primary reason that they make such a nuisance in public just for entertainment purpose, even though in their group of friends find it funny, most of the public individuals would likely hate those remarks. Mostly teenagers that would make such a nuisance in public,however there is small part of group belongs to the elderly. That occurs when elderly are either tired, bored or drunk. They also would create such a ruckus scene in public space which much worsen that the younger individuals.Teenagers should conduct themselves and educated themselves as they already become a young adult. Furthermore, in school, it teaches students how to act in public places.

# data[].attributes.body
(a)My daily commute to school mainly consists of taking the MRT as it is fast, reliable and cheap. and it doesn't deduct much from my EZ-link card and its convenient for me as they train station is near my home.it is also very dependable as i live very far from school and i just need to take  1 train to school.

(b)my observation from the video that i watched that people should be discipline in public and not treat the public as their home they shouldn't put their stuff on other seats and occupy space as others need it too.they should abide by the rules in public and not break them.Students should maintain their noise level in transports  as people who are returning from work would be really tired and will be sleeping and the noise level might distrupt their sleep causing them to have a bad day.furthermore students who don't behave in public give a very bad image to their school and its embarrassing. we should also take care of all these facilities we have as other third world countries are not fortunate enough to have them and as a singaporean  i feel happy and honoured that i get to experience all this good transportation

# data[].attributes.body
a) My daily commute to school mainly consists of taking the MRT as it is fast, reliable and cheap.

b) I think that these videos do not represent the majority of those who take public transport as through those videos, as they only represent themselves and their actions. How we should conduct ourselves is different for everyone as those that go out with friends would usually be more rowdy and those by themselves would usually not be as chaotic as those out with friends.

# data[].attributes.body
(a) I usually take the bus to school and take the MRT home in the morning I take the bus as I can take my time. After school I take the MRT home as I'm usually tired after a long day of studying both of the ways are fast and reliable

(b)The videos that I have watched on people that are a disgrace to the society as they are having a conflict on the train and they will shout back and forth from the train carts and it might interrupt the other passengers on board the train and this gives a bad image of singaporeans to other foreigners

# data[].attributes.body
a)  i  take the train to school as it is very convenient for me to travel from one place to another. therefore, i think that trains are faster and  it's near my home

B) my thoughts about the video i have watched from social media and on news about how some people a disturting the public space . i think that behavior is not acceptable in public . i think that people should not be so self- minded and  show some manners to people in public therefore also think about the  surroundings around them . when we are taking public transport we should keep our volume down and not make a nuisance out of ourselves, we can also offer our seats to those that need them.  furthermore, if we are going out with friends after school and we are in school uniform we should not cause trouble as we are representing our school. when we are in public space we should be mindful about many things and not cause trouble or any damage to public property.

# data[].attributes.body
(a)My daily commute is by taking the bus since lts cheap and reliable and my house is quite a distance away from school and walking isn't an option

(b) i have personally seen some of these so called ugly videos i am usually disturbed by what they are doing in a public space as it not an ideal behaviour though sometimes i do laugh very loud and talk loudly in public but that is not remotely close to what some of them are doing in the public we should really watch our behaviour in public as it will hurt your school or your own family's reputation

B- people can take public transportation in peace and feel safe at the same time. It also have good transportation services and it is convenient for everyone including disable people.
T- What do you think are the benefits of a good transportation system?
S- I agree that there are benefits for a good transportation system.
O- I will now share 3 benefits for a good transport system.
Firstly, public transport improve fuel efficiency
Secondly, public transportation reduces air pollution. Less fuel burned means better air quality for cities that integrate public transit.
Thirdly, improves road congestion. No one likes to be stuck in traffic, but rising population demand improvements in road infrastructure that can costly and take alot of time. Another benefit of public transportation is that more people riding on buses,trains, and other public systems eans there are fewer vehicles on the road to cause traffic.

(a) i would usually commute by taking the bus and mrt to school and home. It is the transport that i would always take as it is convenient for me to travel by.

(b) i think that we should learn our manners especially when we are outside. Due to the surroundings around us, it is best to keep our volume down and be in our best behaviour. Others can't tolerate our behaviour and that would cause a big misunderstanding and fights. When we are on our school uniform, is best to behave properly as we do not want to cause trouble and be embarrassed. Our school uniform represent our school and we do not want them to look down on us.

S- i agree that this is beneficial because...

O

- it's good for people who do not have vehicles or any license to drive

-its convenient for the seniors

-its easier for people to travel from one place to another

Conclusion: I have shared 3 benefits

A1 vocab i want to use: sedentary, abide by

# data[].attributes.body
(a): i take mrt to school as it helps to transport me from one place to another.

(b): My thoughts are that people should learn some manners when taking public transport due to the surroundings around them. When we are taking public transport, we should offer our seats to those in need and we should not be rowdy. We should let others before us. We should not bring a disgrace to our school image.

# data[].attributes.body
(a) Many students and working adults commute to school by public transport such as buses and  trains (MRT). I commute to school by both train and bus, it helps save the environment and save more money due to the rise of petrol prices. Although it may be bad due to the Covid-19 and Omicron virus, it helps to prevent traffic congestion, provide a good impact on the environment, and enhance the cost-effectiveness, reliability, and accessibility of the road network.

(b) From what I have personally seen from some videos, I have observed that these few people inadvertently did some acts that look like they are in gangs. While that may be true, this can cause you to be a bad influence to others and the school’s reputation may be looked down upon. While for those who intentionally behave badly in public, I think it is impetuous for them to do such things in public.

# data[].attributes.body
a) In the morning when I go to school, most of the time my father drives me to school while sometimes I take the metro to school. Having my father drive me to school is an advantage since I can sleep longer and not have to worry about being late for school since I can just tell my father to hurry up. While I only take the metro to school when my father is unable to drive me to school, I have to wake up a bit earlier just to not be late for school. When coming back from school, I can either take the metro, bus or walk home. Most of the time, I take the metro home since it’s the fastest  while I usually only take buses on Fridays to waste time going home since I have nothing to do during the afternoon. I only walk home when I don't have my EZ-link card and that's the last thing I would want to do since its shortcomings are that it takes me one hour to walk home because the distance is like 3km. Moreover, I have a school bag to carry along with my PLD bag which makes me fatigued when I reach home.

b) My views on these videos are that they  are unnecessary since it only makes the person who filmed the video a busybody person while at the same time, the person behaving badly in the video will be recognised as the ‘impolite’ person in public. Instead of the person filming the video, He or she should tell the ‘impolite’ person to conform to manners in public and not to create a nuisance. While the ‘impolite person’ should think about others in public instead of behaving badly.

# data[].attributes.body
(a) I usually take the bus to school. Whenever I take the bus to school or anywhere,most of the time it is very peaceful.On the off chance that there are loud sounds are most probably children or teenagers acting impetuously.Whenever I see an empty seat and given the chance to sit in it,I will take it.

(b) From my point of view,these 'ugly videos' are showing the community and economy how it is deteriorating as many people tend to go hay-wire in the MRT or any shared public spaces.Personally speaking,I would normally conduct myself as per-usual by sitting down and minding my business.However,when I am with my friends,we do tend to make a lot of noise.We do keep our volume down when necessary so as to not attract attention and ultimately get reported.Whenever we hang out around public places,we would not make a mess and in fact tidy the place up making it cleaner than how we entered the area.

# data[].attributes.body
B- people always talk about a good transport system

T- should we commute more on public transport?

S- I agree that we should start commuting on public transport.

O- I will share 3 reasons why.

From the video, taking public transport such as buses and trains is very common and convenient as it travels around the whole island of Singapore. As shown in the video, most/all of the public transports are cleaned and sanitized thoroughly to prevent the spread of the Omicron and Covid-19 virus. This then begs the question "what are the benefits of a good transport system?" I will now share three benefits.

Firstly, young students around primary school and secondary schools take public transport either with their friends or family. This can help them feel more energetic in the morning as having someone to talk to would not be as boring as being alone on the bus or train where you may fall asleep easily.

Secondly, this may improve traffic congestion and save the environment from global warming. There would be fewer cars on the roads and streets. This makes the air cleaner and less traffic congestion. Especially people who would commute by car or bus, in this way we can have space on the roads for other people to commute the same way.

Thirdly, people from other countries such as Malaysia or Indonesia can enter Singapore with much ease when bringing their children to Singapore for better education. Moreover, traffic congestion will be rarely seen if people would use public transport. It is cheap and very accessible for them as they may not be as familiar with our transportation system.

I have shared 3 benefits of good transport system that recommend individuals to make an habit to take the transport instead of using their own vehicles.

# data[].attributes.body
a) I would usually commute by taking the bus to school and home. It is the transport that I would often take as it is convenient for me to travel by.

b)

# data[].attributes.body
(a) Every morning, I wake up at 5.45 am and do my daily routine such as brushing my teeth,eating my breakfast ten around 6.30 am.I leave the house and I would then walk to Mayflower MRT station and I would take from Mayflower to Caldecott,from Caldecott to Paya Lebar.Lastly,from Paya Lebar to Aljunied.Then I would need to walk about 5 mins then I reach school.After school,I would take train from Aljunied to Paya Lebar. I would take bus 76 all the way to my house cause its a direct bus to my house.

# data[].attributes.body
B - People use public transport very often nowadays as it's convenient, and are usually very close to neighbourhood areas.
T - This sparks the question - what are the benefits gained from these transport systems?
S - I agree highly that public transport has benefits that are more than just for personal gains.
O - I will now begin sharing 3 benefits that I have listed down.

From what I have seen from the video,

Firstly, public transport systems such as MRT's, Buses, taxis and many more, are very convenient nowadays. They help us travel to school, work, or to just reach your destination faster. They also help in ways such as equitable transport systems, as it is very cheap to aboard these modes of transport.

Secondly, these public transports improve road congestion, mainly as public highways and traffic are a little jammed from time to time. Furthermore, they help in reducing air pollution as 85% of greenhouse gas emissions that come from transportation are due day-to-day commutes. An individual can save up to 20 pounds of carbon dioxide emissions everyday just by stationing their car at home.

Lastly, one of the most technical benefits of public transportation is the ability to outfit many others with alternative fuel sources. Compared to other gas-powered vehicles, public transportation is in a way better in terms of fuel efficiency. These are only a few, but many from the list. I hope more individuals will aboard public transports because of these benefits gained from them.

# data[].attributes.body
(a). I take the train to school as it is more convenient and fast to travel from one place to another especially when changing mrt lines.

(b). I have seen videos about people not abiding by the rules given by the government, and i think that the way they act in public is not acceptable. We should be mindful on the way we act and behave outside and give up our seats to those in need and lower down our volume.
