2. Why we need to use pubic
transport ?
The impacts of greenhouse gasses, for example,
environmental pollution, respiratory diseases, and global
warming, are well documented. Many factors contribute to
increased levels of these harmful gasses, including cutting
down trees, the use of fossil fuels, and emission from
industries and vehicles.
One factor that is consistently ignored, yet contributes more
to greenhouse emissions, is personal transportation, driving
personal cars to be precise. Those living in highly populated
cities feel the impacts of emissions by vehicles. And with
technology traveling at lung-bursting speed coupled with
rapidly expanding middle class, car ownership is projected
to skyrocket. This means the universe will be polluted more
than ever. The only way to reverse this trend is the adoption
of public transportation

5. Reduces CongestionUrban
congestion is one of the greatest challenges of developed nations.
Statistically, Australian cities incur a cumulative annual cost of $12.9
billion due to traffic congestion. If transport systems are not modernized
in the near future, this cost could go up to $20 billion.See also Top 25
Brutal Environmental Concerns That You Desperately Need To
KnowThe solution to this nightmare lies in the expansion of public
transportation. For instance, a single railway can get rid of 1000 cars
from the roads.
Economic Benefits

6. Enhances Productivity Public
transportation plays a significant role in enhancing opportunity and
productivity by moving knowledge, labor, and skills between and within
markets. In the modern globalized world, capital, labor, and enterprise
search out for the most productive markets, promoting healthy competition
and symbiotic economic growth. Investing in remarkable public
transportation instigates a series of economic growth.
Economic Benefits

7. Increases Land Value
Improved access to public transport has shown to increase land and property
value. Planning that puts public transportation development on top of its
agenda rips huge benefits in the long run. Land that would have been used
for parking and roads is put to profitable use, such as the generation of
revenue to the city council.
Economic Benefits

8. Financial Benefits of Communities
Approximately for every dollar invested in public transportation, economic
returns generated are $4, and for every $1 billion in investments in the
sector, 50,000 jobs are generated and supported.
Economic Benefits

9. Saves Money
Taking public transportation instead of owning a second vehicle can save
individuals a significant amount of money each month in avoided gas,
maintenance, parking, and other expenses. Household Expenses also
reduced by using public transit as the family gets rid of buying one car and
maintaining and operating the car.
Economic Benefits

10. Ensures a Cleaner Ecosystem
Public transportation significantly reduces the number of cars on the
road. This means less pollution from motor vehicle emissions. Fumes
produced by vehicles can lead to respiratory diseases. Few cars on the
road mean a reduction in the possibility of these dangerous diseases. A
clean environment boosts living standards and brings immense benefits
to the economy.
Environmental Benefits

11. Prevents Global Warming
As the impacts of global warming become more apparent, world leaders are
looking for ways to bring down these effects. One of the easiest sectors to
deal with is transportation, and this involves having fewer automobiles on the
roads.
Environmental Benefits

12. Reduces Carbon Footprint
Public transportation offers an immediate alternative for individuals seeking to
reduce their energy use and carbon footprints. This action far exceeds the
benefits of other energy-saving household activities, such as using energy-
efficient light bulbs or adjusting thermostats..
Environmental Benefits

13. Improves Health
Bringing health policies in line with transport can significantly reduce the
burden on health services by encouraging active lifestyles. Public transport
ensures citizens are at their best healthwise by encouraging them to walk to
bus and railway stations, at the same time alleviating the stress that comes
with driving a car on congested roads.
Social Benefits

14. Benefits the Aging Population
Research studies indicate that the number of people older than 65 years is
projected to go up from 14% in 2006 to 22% by 2030. Older adults heavily
depend on public transport to access essential services. This is why public
transport authorities must work hard to cater to this aging population.
Social Benefits

15. Freedom and Increased Mobility
Many people are unable to drive, and even drivers would appreciate
the ability to walk, cycle, or take public transit, at least when it requires.
Public transportation allows them personal mobility to get to work, to
school, to the grocery store or doctor’s chamber, or for visiting friends,
without having to engage a friend or relative to do the driving.
Social Benefits

16. Frees up time
In public transportation, as someone else is doing the driving, which
allows riders to free up a significant amount of time and attention and
spend their transit time reading, working, studying, or being entertained
instead of having to watch the road. It can also reduce commute time.
When driving an automobile, one cannot sleep, read, write, relax, or do
anything that transit takers are able to do.
Social Benefits

17. Public Transportation is Safer
Taking public transport is safer than driving a car, considering not only
the safety of the vehicles that are maintained on a regular basis than a
personal car but also the driving habits and training of the operators.
Transit operators receive much more training than the average
automobile driver (120 minimum hours of training) and also receive
refresher training on a regular basis as well.
Social Benefits

18. Social Connections Increase
Robert Putnam, the author of Bowling Alone, said that for every 10
minutes of additional travel time by car, social connections are reduced
by 10%. Millennials consider public transportation as the best option for
digital socializing and among the best for connecting with communities.
