On The Go Transportation comes in many forms nowadays, car, bike, bus, train, flying, etc. Everyone is different in their opinion on which form of transportation is their favorite. All of the different kinds of transportation provide a whole different experience than the others. Coming to Montgomery County Community College, I have used three different forms of transportation to come to school. All three vary in many ways, but at the end of the day, they all got me to where I had to be. One form of transportation I use to get to school is by bus. Bus is most least favorite form to get to school. The bus is always crowded and it feels like people are sitting right on top of me when I am on it. The bus stop very frequent, which makes the ride feel very long. There is usually no conversation going on, because everyone is either reading or listening to music on their headphones. The bus also makes a very loud noise while in drive, which can be annoying. If I am one of the last to board the bus and there are no more seats, I am forced to stand up for a very uncomfortable ride. All in all, a bus ride is my last resort in order to get to

Train rides are very enjoyable to me and I use the train to get to many places. I take the train to Philadelphia sports game very often because of how convenient it is. Train rides are good because it gets you to the destination faster than other forms of transportation. Also, if I am sitting at the window seat, there is a lot to look at. Just like the bus, there is usually not much conversation going on, unless accompanied by another person. Everyone on the train is listening to their music, reading a book or newspaper, or having a conversation with the person they came onto the train with. Train rides are more expensive than a bus ride, but far more enjoyable and fast, so it is all worth the

    Parking on Campus

    Having a car last semester, it was very inconvenient for me to park when it came to driving to class. I was disappointed by the amount of tickets I received, making my parents question whether I really needed a car. I might get a new car next semester but in all honesty I don 't really know if it 's worth it or not, especially if you 're living on campus. Riding the bus only involves a shorter walk to class, and I can usually find rides to other places from someone else. Most students however, do want a car and shouldn 't have to think if they should really need one just because of the parking problem on campus.…

    Imagine being in a place where your immediate surroundings were all you knew. Before transportation, something taken so easily for granted in today's society, all activities took much longer than necessary. Henry Ford, the creator of the very first car, was truly the man who sparked the idea of transportation. Without him transportation would be a distant dream at best. It was established so common like sneezing, coming simply to Earth. Transportation is used so often for getting goods to destinations, for the exhilarating feeling of speed, or simply getting to work. However, although all forms of transportation are , helpful they come with a cost.…

    Buses have certain schedules and rates. People commuting in this type of transportation are also respectful and care for the well being of the vehicles and other passengers. In my time in the United States, I have used the Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) in several ocations and I am impressed by how smoothly it works. From buying a pass using your mobile phone or a machine in the station, to looking up routes online and knowing that the time they display are going to be almost the same as the real travelling times. This type of public transportation is very safe and reliable.…
