3.What are the advantages of taking a taxi compared to taking the bus? Off the top of my head, it’s more comfortable, for sure. When you’re taking the bus, you are usually surrounded by tons of people and you can seldom get a seat, which means you might have to stand for a long time, whereas in a taxi...um, it’s just comfy, right? Another difference is that you have privacy coz you’re alone, with a taxi driver of course. In comparison, on a bus, whatever you do, other people are watching you. 4.Do people in your country prefer to share public transport or do they prefer to use private transport? As far as I’m concerned, most people are partial to taking the public transport. I think there are a couple of reasons for this. First of all, the public transport is extremely cheap in most cities. Take Beijing for example, it only costs several yuan to ride the subway. However, since the petrol prices are soaring, if you drive to work, it can really cost an arm and a leg. Another reason might be that the traffic in large cities in China is awful, so it really drives people crazy if they use their own car. For this reason, if it’s available, the subway sounds like a much better choice.
